First Wish For HC

[Pierce T. Wetter‏]

HyperCard is VERY neat. Needs one tiny thing though. It needs a built
in icon editor.
How 'bout it? Anyone got a icon editor lying around they'd like to add to
HyperCard?

Somewhere there is a DA that will let you select an icon sized portion of the
screen and turn it into a real icon. All you need is this and fat bits in
HyperCard.

McSink DA, available from Sumex (I got it from comp.binaries.mac) allows
something like this. You move an icon-sized rect around on the screen and
click when you get to what you want "ICONized." Well, actually it turns
what is in the rectangle into hex codes. I guess then you could stuffhex
or something after that.

Regardless, all editing in McSink is done in the clipboard, so anything
"hex"ed can be pasted just about anywhere.

It should be possible to use the magic hooks to make a card that will run
ResEdit's icon editing code resource.
