Hey gang--
    Is there a general program out there that will convert 1.2.# stacks
to the new 2.0 format??  FTP sites?  (Sorry if this has already gone
over the net, I've
been off recently..)

This is a menu option in HyperCard 2.0.  It would probably make sense
to exercise this option only on copies of the 1.2.# stacks.

Um, You can use HC 2.0 to convert stacks into 2.0 format.  You don't
mean a program that mass converts, do you?  (Actually, a stack like
this could be hacked up, I suppose.)

Just open the 1.2 stack with 2.0 running.  Then choose "Convert Stack" in
the Edit menu.
