True, unless you use Hypercard. Unless you have somehow managed to
magically acquire a copy of Hypercard 2.0.

I downloaded System 6.0.7 last night with the intent of upgrading a lab I
manage, but fortunately I noticed a little line down at the bottom of the
Readme on the Systems Tools disk which says that 6.0.7 is incompatible with
Hypercard 1.2.5 or earlier. You must use Hypercard 2.0 with 6.0.7.
Unfortunately Hypercard 2.0 is not available on Apple.com (yet) that I
could find. I know there is a problem with space and time, but I doubt the
gdead (or other) stuff is really necessary (replace it when the new machine
comes online) and I find it frustrating that a company with Apple's
resources (profits) would not remedy such problems (and others) as the lack
of staff time. Mark is doing a good job and I appreciate that, but since he
has so much to do I would expect Apple to find someone to assist him on
some of his projects.

Getting down off of my soapbox...
