Mac Hyp: Microsoft Mail and SuperCard (62125)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) for HyperCard 2.0
- Microsoft Mail Software Development Kit (SDK) for HyperCard 3.0
This article was previously published under Q62125 SUMMARY
The Microsoft Mail interface can be used with SuperCard versions 1.0
through 1.5 from Silicon Beach Software. To do this, use the Convert
Stack command described in the SuperCard manual, and pick the default
button Normal in the Resource Preferences dialog box.
The interface consists of an XFCN named "msmail" and a number of STR#
resources. Because SuperCard doesn't import STR# resources, the normal
conversion process automatically adds these strings to SuperCard's
SharedFile.
When you create a stand-alone application from SuperEdit, these
resources are not automatically copied in; this is explained in
SuperCard Technical Note #1 (which comes with SuperCard). To make
Microsoft Mail work, you must manually copy three STR# resources from
this stack to your stand-alone application using ResEdit. These
resources are called "msmail", "msmailStrings", and "msmailErrors".
You can give the resources any ID, but you must not change the names.
Note: The "msmailErrors" resource is used to set the HyperCard global
mailResultText. If you do not need error strings, you can remove this
resource to save space.
This information is taken from the appendix of the "Microsoft Mail
HyperCard Interface Documentation."
