[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Developer Stack 1.2r by S. Drazga

  hi,

  I got the developer stack 1.2 version off a CD-ROM but it seems to 
  have many bugs.  After some search i downloaded the 1.2 fix from 
  sumex-aim but the file is not convertable via BinHex 4.0. 

  Any pointers?

  thanx/umesh                        uthakkar@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu

I can't help you there, but as I recall, the fix stack didn't fix too
many things.  You might try StuffIt instead of BinHex, as there are
cases in which a file encoded by StuffIt can't be decoded by BinHex.

Most of the bugs I've found come from trying to use the docs and not
the code.  For example, BarButton needs to have "it" set to the rect of
the button or it will crash the machine.  This isn't mentioned in the
description, but is shown in the buttons.

Maybe you could describe the bugs you are seeing.  If they are fixed,
we can tell you, and if they aren't, we know what to avoid.
