Dear HC friends: Sorry if this has been noted before. System 7.0, HC 2.1, About HyperCard says "HyperCard by Binky Melnick". Binky? Do it again. "HyperCard by Scott Kamins". Each time a different name. Option About, it turns out *I* wrote HyperCard! Well, shucks, I had help. Oh yeah, Bill A and me go waaay back...blah, blah, blah... SYSERR: the connection has been lost due to head exploded [source].

Another question that may have been covered before, but I've been out of touch: What's new in 2.1? There must be more than cute "about..." tricks and System 7 compatibility, no?

Greetings, Binky really is what she goes by. I'd post her other name, but she always gives me a hard time when I use it, so I call her Binky and I suggest you do so as well... *heh* Kevin posted a document here (if I remember right) giving a summary of 2.1. There is also a stack from Claris floating around describing the new features. It is on CompuServe and CONNECT, and probably elsewhere. It may be in the Info-Mac queue by now.

I meant to imply suprise on my part at seeing "HyperCard by Binky Melnick", not suprise at seeing someone go by the name Binky. Binky it is.

She's a fun gal. >And now, why does HuperCard 2.x complain that I don't have Palatino 24 when it >seems to me that I do? Hmmm, could be a couple of reasons. Are you using Suitcase or Master Juggler? Is there a Palatino font installed in the stack you're starting up? Are you using ATM or anything else to access a Postscript version of the font? Any of these can confuse the checker in HyperCard. Last resort you can go into the stack script and kill the handler that does this check. It's called checkForMissingFonts. <-> Bruce Carter, Courseware Development Coordinator bcarter@claven.idbsu.edu Boise State University, Boise, ID 83725 duscarte@idbsu.bitnet (This message contains personal opinions only) (208)385-1250@phone
