[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Old XCMDs/XFCNs under HyperCard 2.0

mchupa@brahms.udel.edu (Michael A Chupa) (01/23/91)

After receiving HyperCard 2.0 bundled with some educational stacks
for teachers (I say this because I don't have the full HyperCard 2.0
release), I have converted selected stacks to 2.0 format. When I try to
bring up ResCopy (installed in my 1.2.5 Home stack) HyperCard either
quits (under MultiFinder) or locks the system up. Any caveats on using
old externals under 2.0?

The old version of ResCopy does a couple of things that it probably
shouldn't do.  It's one of the few old XCMDs we know of that don't
work under 2.0.  Steve Maller is working on a revised version.
