I'm trying to control access to a videodisc player (Pioneer 6000) from within a relational database application, written in 4th Dimension for the Mac. Before I set out to do it myself, has anybody out there either 1) written the 4D external interface routines already (in C preferably), 2) adapted the existing Hypercard XCMD (written in Pascal, I believe) to work under 4D, or 3) written the interface routines within 4D, using the serial port communications primitives? Code, comments, and suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks, Adam Galper Stanford University
