>> (1) What is the difference between Hypercard 1.2 and 1.2.1?  Also, were any
    stacks changed between the release of 1.2 and 1.2.1?  (i.e., to upgrade
    to 1.2.1 is a new copy of the Hypercard application all I need?)

1.2.1 fixed several minor bugs that were in 1.2.  Mainly associated with CD rom
access.  All that is needed is a new copy of the application.  Try and get a
hold of the 1.2.1 developer's disk, it has a lot of extra information on it
that wasn't in the civilian release.  As far as I know, none of it was
copyrighted.  Especially useful is a stack called Groupies that has a utility
field that allows you to group copy/paste/delete/move/align buttons/fields.

>> (2) Which is the more recent and/or more reliable version of ResEdit:
     1.2d2 or 1.2a1?  I have acquired both in the last couple of weeks
     and I don't know which I should be running.  (I am using System 6.0)

1.2d2 is more recent.
