[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Unexpected Error 1777 from HyperCard

msriram@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (M G SriRam) (06/08/89)

i created a stack about 218K in size.  however whenever i try to:

a) Compact the stack, or

b) add a new card

i get a message 'Unexpected Error 1777'.

what does this error mean? how can i find out and fix this problem?
help!!

also, as a consequence of (a) above a stack of size 0K was created 
by HyperCard called HyperTemp1. presumably this would be deleted 
upon successful compaction.  but now i can't get rid of it from my 
hard disk.  whenever i try to drag it to trash it tells me that
it's in use and cannot be removed.


Any help/advice would be VERY gratefully appreciated.
