Has anyone tried to put VideoWorksII animations in their stacks? I'm considering it, but am worried that to make it run on a 1 meg machine would severely limit the type of animation that could be done. And I can't see going to all that trouble only to have a small number of people be able to see it. Thanks, -- Michael S.

I'm >considering it, but am worried that to make it run on a 1 meg machine I'm using it with a 2 Meg Plus under MultiFinder and it works great. I've also used it on a 1 Mb MacII. I had to remove all sort of inits, otherwise the driver wouldn't load. Maybe you should get a memory upgrade? You have to get that Meg anyway, otherwise you can't use System 7.0 _My_ big problem is the latest upgrade of VideoWorksII: Director. Director is very powerful but it needs at least 2 Mb to run. I also would like to include Director-movies in my stack but the VideoWorks HC driver can't deal with Director documents. Has anyone seen any upgrade of the driver? /Olle

Like I said before, I'm worried that while I might be able to play the animation in Hypercard fine, those with only 1 meg of memory will be left out. The question is that I can't justify purchasing VideoworksII and their hypercard driver if only those with extra memory will be able to view the results. -- Michael S.

Has anyone seen any upgrade of the driver? > > /Olle Hey my first ever posting to comp.sys.mac.hypercard, I think! I finally got a demo of all this mac stuff at an Apple Expo here today. I think this expo has converted me to Mac. Anyway, onto the topic of discussion. Director was demo'd and I specifically asked if they had a driver for Hypercard and the guy said yes. He also hinted that VideoWorks II has an upgraded driver for HC. I didn't ask him where to get it because I would need to buy a complete system anyway. Now for some help: I was really impressed with what the Mac can do with some of the specialized software of interest to me. However, I do not know very much about the Mac as I have spent most of the last four years in UNIX and Messy_DOS. Can someone point me in the right direction for me to find out as much about the Mac as I know about the PC's and UNIX. I am not a real tech or systems person just someone who has had to learn a hell of a lot to survive. HELP!
