Lines: 24 In article ca0l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Caroline Arms) asks about maintaining old stacks which cannot be converted to HC 2.0 because their vendors depend on XCMDs which will not convert. This may be a hair-brained idea, but maybe it will lead to a better idea from someone else: I wonder what would happen if you went into the old HyperCard program with ResEdit, and changed the FREF and BNDL resource to file type "sTAK", instead of "STAK". Then go to your old stacks and change their type to "sTAK" as well. Or do a similar thing with the creator id instead of the file type id. Or do both. Now the operating system would see the old HyperCard and old stacks as something entirely different from the new HyperCard and stacks. Has anyone tried anything like this? - Chuck Hoffman, GTE Laboratories, Inc. | I'm not sure why we're here, cah0@bunny.gte.com | but I am sure that while we're Telephone (U.S.A.) 617-466-2131 | here, we're supposed to help GTE VoiceNet: 679-2131 | each other.
