Greetings.

  For what it is worth, I have a hypercard 2.0 stack that has macintalk inside
of it. It is implemented through some sort of an xcmd, and never gave me 
problems using 6.0.x.
  I hadn't tried it since I upgraded to 7.0, because I expected it to crash
into the proverbial brick wall. Today, I decided to give it a shot, and lo 
and behold, the fool thing worked just fine.
  I haven't tried it under Hypercard 2.1, because I haven't got it yet. Anyway,
the stack seems to work quite well, and it didn't crash anything while I was 
using it. My system is a IIcx, running system 7.0 (5 real megs and 3 virtual 
megs), and a bunch of extensions.
  I am stuffing and binhexing the thing, and I will send it to info-mac and 
comp.sys.mac.binaries soon. If anyone wants a copy before it shows up, let me 
know. I originally got it from America Online, and it is called "HC 2.0 
Macintalk".

  So don't give up hope of hearing your computer ever talk again!


Later.........
