I agree with you!  Hypercard 2.0 should be available to all Macintosh
users!  Is Apple trying to recoup its engineering costs on system software?
It's the system software that sells Macintoshes.  Not the other way

By the way, does anybody know where I can get the final HC 2.0 XCMD
libraries and interfaces?
