I can't get Hypercard to open any stacks on our aufs server (a Sun 4 with CAP 5.0 + several patches). Hypercard reports file system error -50. Does this work for other people? If not, are there plans for it? Thanks, --Christopher

Thanks to all who responded to my query about stacks on aufs servers not being accessible to Hypercard 1.2.1 users. Bill Croft identified the problem: Christopher, I think some item went by in the past about the new version of Hypercard: it makes an 'open' system call with weird mixed case filenames such as 'FiLeNaMe'. This is no problem with a Mac appleshare server, since it ignores case. But aufs is case sensitive. I think the mixed case open was to fix some other silly hypercard bug, but it seems stupid to me. I guess you could add code to aufs to get around this, but it sounds simpler to get a hypercard patch. Armed with Bill's hint, our shared stacks are getting names like t.h.i.s-i.s-i.t Talk about a workaround! --Christopher

It is mainly a maintenance release, and one change was it no longer mixes case when it tries to open a stack. You should see it at your local dealership, or in a future AppleGram (if you receive them). Jim Kateley UUCP: {sun, voder, nsc, mtxinu, dual}!apple!kateley S,P,HnS!
