MikeTomTom — Thu, 29 Jan 2015 11:52:58 +0000

Application file:

A BBS server from the days of yore, written entirely in HyperCard.

HyperBBS should work with any Hayes-compatible modem. It's been tried with a Hayes 1200 and an Apple Personal.

MD5 checksum & filename: a2220b0667e869a16f71ac6f613066f7 *HyperBBS-1.sit

Compatibility:

Requires:
HyperCard 1.2.5 - has errors if using HyperCard 2.x
Mac Plus or newer
Any Hayes-compatible modem, 300 baud or faster.

HyperBBS Issues (from Sysop Help Stack):

   • You can't see the message you're replying to as you write the reply.
   • There's no chat mode to talk to callers.
   • It supports MacBinary I but not II.
   • It doesn't support Kermit, YModem, or any other non-XModem protocols.
   • There's no way for the user to change his password or other UserList information.
   • There's no facility for the user to edit messages once they've been entered.
   • Messages can only be listed in full; would be nice to list just subjects.

How Engines Work

MikeTomTom — Thu, 27 Nov 2014 22:17:14 +0000

Application file:

reciprocating-engines.sit

Reciprocating Engines. Where would we be without them? Here is a set of (shareware) educational HyperCard Stacks that demonstrate just how Gasoline, Diesel and Steam engines work, with descriptions, discussion and animation.

The intent of these stacks is to illustrate the similarities, differences, advantages and disadvantages of these three different types of engines. Discussion stacks are included to provide more detail, explanation and comment where appropriate. A glossary to terms and references are included.

Compatibility:

Requires HyperCard 1.x for playback.
Minimum hardware requirement is a Mac Plus.
A hard drive is strongly recommended.
Animation is faster on a Mac II or SE30.

HyperAnimator

JonathanNemo — Thu, 14 Aug 2014 21:53:02 +0000

Application file:

HyperAnimator_1.5.2.sit

Text-to-speech HyperCard stack with the ability to control an animated face, inspired by Apple's "Knowledge Navigator" video.

This stack allows you to define a few phonemes for each face, and the software extends that to provide lip movements for any sequence of characters in the ASCII character set. Further extensions and control over precision in lip syncing can be managed through a scripting language called RAVEL, defined in the documentation.

Very comprehensive documentation, release notes, and product catalogs are included in the manual archive, as Acrobat 2 compatible PDF files.

Apple Macintosh SE/30 Training Stack

MikeTomTom — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 12:23:55 +0000

Application file:

se30-training-stack.sit

A nice HyperCard Stack, presenting up-to-date info on the latest compact Macintosh of 1988, the Macintosh SE/30. Back then, there perhaps weren't even 4 MB SIMMs approved for this iconic machine, as the stack mentions 256 KB & 1 MB SIMMs only.

MD5 checksum: fd7a8b132d188a3f391317d3d314d499 *se30-training-stack.sit
Disk Copy 4.2 ".image" in Stuffit 3.6 ".sit" archive.

Compatibility:

Not sure of this stack's HyperCard version compatibility (I've only tested it using HyperCard 2.1). But given it's 1988 origin, I wouldn't be surprised if this runs on a 1.x version of HyperCard.

3D Parametric Equations - A HyperCard App

vintagegeek — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 01:04:51 +0000

Application file:

3d_param_eq.sit

This HyperCard stack draws isometric projections of three-dimensional curves and surfaces (wire-frame). Curves are described with 3 equations in one parameter, and surfaces with 3 equations in two parameters. The curves and surfaces can be exported to Rotater files, of which the files above are an example. There are various export options, like choosing between the 7 available colours, exporting dots or lines and varying the colour according to the z-coordinate of each point.

A Closer Look at Your Mac IIsi

Application file:

a_closer_look_._._.sit

A Closer Look at Your Mac IIsi is a Tour which accompanied the purchase of a new Mac IIsi. It's a HyperCard Stack which requires the HyperCard Player (which you can download from this site). It requires HyperCard Player 2.0 or above. It is not a program unto itself so it does not autorun like some tours do on bootup.

Compatibility:

I ran this on my IIsi 7.0.1 and my Performa OS 8.5.
