HyperStakz News


5 / 11 / 99

Updated this site - indeed, all the sites I have here on GeoCities - to reflect my radically changed abilities and interests. No more Hypercard for me, RealBasic and CodeWarrior all the way. Sorry Hypercard, but you've had a better life than most, and will always have a special place in my heart. Thanks for many great years.

Switch to RealBasic, that's all I can say. It's getting a very big following now, and already people are developing proper commercial and shareware programs and utilities with it.

25 / 4 / 99

Haven't worked in Hypercard for near a month, and don't intend to again. RealBasic is a very good language. Get it, try it, at least, and hopefully use it.

Crypter v1.0 is almost no-time away. Benchmark results: Pentium II 266mhz with 32 meg ram, a single layer with an average key takes 0.23 seconds per 100 characters.

EOM + EEF scores around 1.40 seconds per 100 characters on my 8100/100mhz.
