[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] HyperCard 2.0v2 under System 7.0

jkc@apple.com (John Kevin Calhoun) (05/24/91)

Here are the known incompatibilities between HyperCard 2.0v2 and System 7.0.
They have all been fixed in HyperCard 2.1.

- When you ask for the names of the system Help or Application menus from
  HyperTalk, you get indecipherable strings.
- "the menus" doesn't include the system Help and Application menus.
- When you launch HyperCard and it can't find the Home stack, you must
  select a Home stack from a standard file dialog.  If the stack you
  select can't be opened (this can happen if it has already been opened
  with write permission by another application) HyperCard will freeze
  the machine.
- If there are no user menus, the System 7 Help menu disappears when the
  userLevel changes.  It comes back if a user menu is created from a script.
- The HyperTalk commands that refer to files don't work with alias files.
