What am I doing wrong with Hypercard 1.2.2?
I wanted to make a hypercard stack to print nametags. I created the
picture, and the text fields (4 fields per card). I don't have a
laserwriter, so I always spool my printing jobs to a file. If I
"print card", it takes 47K, a little high, considering a screen bitmap
only requires 22K of memory. But if I "Print Stack" on 4 cards, it
takes 1.2 RIDICULOUS MEGABYTES TO STORE!!?! And we need to print 200
cards?!?!
This is outrageous. I can't afford to upload these monster files to
*any* printer, even at 9600 baud. What am I doing wrong? Using
Hypercard?
