- I would like to be able to include the ability to run XCMDs or similar
- modules within an applictaion I am writing. A few questions:
-
- 1) Is this legal? The XCMD format is standard, but is building the
- ability to run them reserved for HyperCard?
-
- 2) How the hell would I do this? What would standard code be to get
- the XCMD to execute? I'm not so interested in the message passing part
- as I am in just getting the XCMD to run.
-
- 3) Is there any other standard or method for doing something like this?
- XTNDs maybe? Just with plain old CODE resources? The modules don't
- have to communicate with the app in any way (but could through AppleEvents,
- maybe), just be executable by the app and insertable into the app
- by a user who does not have access to the source code.
-
- Thanks,
- Les
