I wish to use the Technical Notes stack on a Mac SE with only 1 Mb ram, and the TechNotes stack I have is about 1.9 Mb, so hypercard stops and tells me that it is out of memory. Is there any way for me to 'cut up' the stack without having to load the whole thing? I have access to a Mac II with 2 Mb, but I can only use it rarely. I can ftp, binhex and stuffit, so shifting the stack is inconvienient but possible (ie techNotes on SE --> stuffit --> binhex --> servervolume --> ftp --> servervolume --> binhex --> stuffit --> technotes on mac II). Any hints? Thanks, Jules. -- sniveley@comp.vuw.ac.nz |If you can't blind them with science, baffle jules@rata.vuw.ac.nz |them with bull. If _that_ doesn't work, try jules@kauri.vuw.ac.nz |sincerity.

By the way, it isn't the size in bytes on disk that makes HyperCard run out of memory. You can open stacks larger than that on a 1-megabyte Mac. Rather, it is the complexity of the scripts and XCMDs that determines the memory requirements. (In 2.0, the physical size of the cards can affect memory, too). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Maller Disclaimer: I speak for neither my Software Commando employer or for Claris HyperCard Engineering Corporation.
