I know HC is a dead app, but it is still very useful.

I currently have HC talking to FileMaker via applescript in about 50 
stacks used daily, but want to move to MySql so that the db can be run 
on other hardware if need be.

HC does not seem to understand the "do shell script" in a applescript 
stored in an object. I do not want to store the text of the script in a 
field, and have it compiled each time I call it, so I have not tried 
that route.

Using a cgi to handle the database communications, URL Scripting looks 
to get back a file. So if I made a call to the cgi from HC, I would 
then need to read the resulting file, too many steps and too slow.

I have to check to see if Interarchy can get back a http request into a 
variable. If so, then I guess I could try that out. HC <-> Interachy 
<-> cgi <-> MySql

Short of ditching HC, which will need to be done now with Intel 
machines, does any one have any other ideas or suggestions?

Thanks for any ideas.
