I think I just fell in love.

Lloyd, are your HC-FM links sufficient to get all of the data you'd like to
move to SQL into FM?  If so, there are a handful of tools to move from FM to
SQL.

There is also something called "AS2SQL" or similar.  I can't locate the link
for you, but the package is a collection of handlers/wrappers for SQL
commands.  A jolly google should get you to it.

I think I just fell in love (...again).


Or Apple could at least let HyperCard out into the wild, eh?


(There was, long ago, a beta HyperCard browser plug-in.
Where'd that go?)

(Maybe to the same place my "Smell-o-Page" olfactory plug-in went.
I still have hope.)
