Auto window scroll
version 1.1 (31 K) -- Download
This stack demonstrates a useful way of displaying large stacks on small monitors,
similar to the way that Timbuktu does with its screen-sharing windows. Namely,
when the pointer (cursor) gets near or beyond the edge of the card window, the
card begins to scroll automatically in that direction. (To temporarily stop
the scrolling, hold down the shift-key.) To use this feature in one of your
stacks, either click the "Start using this stack" button or copy the
"on idle" handler from this stack script into your stack script.
Version 1.0.1 fixes a bug that caused the window to occasionally auto-scroll
even when the mouse was well outside it.

Externals Index
(10 K) -- Download
A convenient way to keep track of XCMDs and XFCNs, by creating links to stacks
where they can be found and cards where the are documented. [Screenshot]

Re-orderable
field demo Version 1.1 (6 K) -- Download
This stack demonstrates a HyperTalk technique for re-ordering lines in a field,
simply by clicking and dragging, with automatic scrolling if required.
The handlers are: on mouseDown and on mouseStillDown.
There is also an extra one-line field, normally hidden (and without any script),
called "Moving field", that produces the effect of the selected line
moving. Its one and only line is permanently selected (with autoSelect turned
on).
What's new in version 1.1:
1. The selected line is now returned to its original position if
the mouse button is released outside the field.
2. It is now possible to drag a line to the last position. (The field
always ends with a single return character.)
3. It is now impossible to drag the blank "line" at the bottom
of the field.

Stack Updater (28
K) -- Download
A stack for updating scripts and resources as quickly as possible (handy for
stacks that contain much added information but which are constantly being used).
[Screenshot]
HyperCard
Toolbars (144 K) -- Download
HyperCard Toolbars provides HyperCard with three new palettes: 'HC Toolbar',
'Marker' and 'Text Formatter'.
While some of the buttons simply provide a convenient way to perform simple
HyperCard scripts (e.g. "reset menubar"), others make use of some
external commands and functions (most created by the amazing Frédéric
Rinaldi) and some rely on other stacks, specifically Power Tools and HyperTalk
Reference (both Apple Computer) and Search Stacks (Jonathan Cooper). All the
palette commands are documented in the stack and may be changed to suit the
user. [Screenshot]
Search
Stacks (76 K) -- Download
Use this stack to search for text within your HyperCard stacks, using HyperCard's
own find routines. The advantages of using this over Sherlock's "Find by content"
are:
1. You can specify which folders to search and which folders (and stacks) not
to search.
2. It doesn't require any indexes to be updated.
3. It respects HyperCard's "dontSearch" property.
3. It respects HyperCard's find options (normal, characters, word, whole, string,
international).
4. You can specify whether or not you want stack aliases searched. (This is
particularly useful if the originals are on another computer and you are not
currently connected to the network.)
5. It displays the search word(s) in context, on the results card.

Easy
Marker (10 K) -- Download
A stack that makes the marking and unmarking of cards easier by creating a palette
and a menu. Both the palette and menu tell you if a card is marked or not and
allow you to mark or unmark it. The menu also allows you to count the total
number of marked cards, go to the next (or previous) marked card, unmark all
cards in one sweep, and show (and hide) the marker palette. Note: The functionality
of this stack is included in the HyperCard
Toolbars stack (above). [Screenshot]
Export Menu (13
K) -- Download
A stack that creates a menu for 'on the fly' exporting of text. Although not
as powerful as Robert Murray's Import/Export Tools, in many cases it
is quicker and easier to use. (Version 1.2) [Screenshot]
Extensions for HyperCard
(19K) -- Download
Place up to ten stacks (or their aliases) into a folder called "HyperCard
Extensions" (inside your HyperCard folder). Whenever you launch HyperCard,
these stacks will automatically be "in use", meaning that any of their
custom commands, functions, XCMDs, XFCNs etc. will be available from any other
stack. Also allows you to easily start and stop using stacks "on the fly".

Find & Replace
(18 K) -- Download
An easy way to find and replace text in HyperCard stacks, by adding a "Find
& Replace..." item to the Edit menu. [Screenshot]
HyperWord (23 K) --
Download
For those times when you are in the middle of using HyperCard and don't have
the RAM and/or couldn't be bothered launching a full-blown word processor just
for a plain text file. Version 1.1; supports RTF (RichText Format). [Screenshot]
HyperXchange (33 K)
-- Download
A stack that gives you access to other Macs on a local area network, using Apple
Events and HyperCard (version 2.1 or higher). It can be used to get information,
send commands and send and exchange messages. When you attempt to make a connection
to another Mac, HyperXchange first determines whether or not HyperCard is running.
If not, it can actually link to the remote Mac's Finder (even System 7.0, thanks
to the XCMD "FinderEvents") to launch HyperCard for you. [Screenshots]
Spell-checker
(11 K) -- Download
This stack lets you use a word processor's spell-checker to check and correct
all the words in any stack. It works by creating a temporary file consisting
of every piece of text (including formatting information if desired) plus details
of the fields and cards they come from. After you have run the file through
your spell checker, you save changes if required (still as 'text only'), close
the file and import it back into the original stack. You can then delete the
temporary file manually. Also retains styled text if desired (with a speed tradeoff).

Stack Sifter (19 K)
-- Download
A stack that enables you to automatically select cards (either by marking or
creating a 'substack') in any other stack. You do this by defining a condition,
either simple or complex, and then telling Stack Sifter to mark or copy
every card in the background that satisfies this condition. (E.g. in an address
stack, you could select cards for, say "all metropolitan secondary schools"
or "all outer-metropolitan contacts who have bought from the company during
1996 or 1997". Thus, it adds some of the searching capabilities of a database
to a HyperCard stack. [Screenshot]
Stack splitter (16K) -- Download
Allows you to split any HyperCard stack into two, smaller stacks, according
the marking of the cards. To make marking and unmarking cards easier, there
is a palette (Marker) and a menu (Mark). (Same features as stack "Easy Marker".)
Backup files (53 K)
-- Download
This stack is for doing selective and incremental backups to a single destination
(e.g. a file server). Files can be filtered according to creator and type signatures.
[Screenshot]
Get Directory (52
K) -- Download
A 'front end' for the XFCN "GetDir" by Frédéric Rinaldi.
Usage:
1. Choose Mode: files, directories or files and directories
(Check [x] Search sub-folders if you want a listing of all files/folders inside
the chosen folder/disk.)
2. Choose Filters: using creator code, type code, date created, date modified,
size and name. If you wish to add a filter or filters not listed, check
the "Custom" box and enter it/them according to the syntax of the
GetDir XFCN (help available).
4. Click the button "Get Directory...". Choose a folder or disk. The
report will appear on another card, which can be exported as text. [Screenshot]
Text massager (11
K) -- Download
Converts text files with carriage returns at the end of every line, into files
with 'true' paragraphs. It also strips linefeed characters (used on PCs) and
converts other characters as required. Can process files one-by-one or in bulk.

Trip Planner (66 K)
-- Download
This stack was actually created by my son Joel Cooper in 1995 as a part of his
high school Computing Studies course.
"I created Trip Planner because I use public transport regularly, often
travelling to Sydney. This often proved a hassle as looking up timetables every
time to find the buses and trains that exactly suited me was hard and time-consuming
(not to mention ugly timetables scattered all over the place). Trip Planner
now does all this and more with little time and effort. Because I live at Green
Point on the Central Coast of NSW, version 1.0 of Trip Planner covers the Kincumber
to Sydney area." Contains full instructions on entering your own data.
