	I am currently using the beta test version of Hypercard 2.0 and
find that it works perfectly well with 6.0.4  I decided not to upgrade to
6.0.5 on my IIcx because I had heard that the only things added/changed in
6.0.5 were for the portable or the IIfx.  Apparently 6.0.5 has been causing
a lot of trouble so I am glad I did not switch.  To be fair however, my
preliminary documentation says "HyperCard 2.0 requires Macintosh System
Software version 6.0.5 or A/UX 2.0 or later."  I also may not have had 
trouble with 2.0b25 because I have not found it yet.  Anyway, to
Mr. van Thienen, I can only say that your dealer is a money-grubbing 
slimeball.  I would find another dealer if I were you.
