I have a couple of questions about recent versions of two important Mac prog-
rams:
(1) What is the difference between Hypercard 1.2 and 1.2.1? Also, were any
stacks changed between the release of 1.2 and 1.2.1? (i.e., to upgrade
to 1.2.1 is a new copy of the Hypercard application all I need?)
(2) Which is the more recent and/or more reliable version of ResEdit:
1.2d2 or 1.2a1? I have acquired both in the last couple of weeks
and I don't know which I should be running. (I am using System 6.0)
Thanks in advance...

>(1) What is the difference between Hypercard 1.2 and 1.2.1? From what I've been able to find out, bug fixes to HyperCard. Anyone have a canonical list? >(2) Which is the more recent and/or more reliable version of ResEdit: > 1.2d2 or 1.2a1? The 'd' implies a development, or internal version. The 'a' implies an alpha, or limited internal/external test release. So, in theory, the 'a' version is less bug ridden and further along in development than the 'd' one is. Of course, I'm not sure I'd talk too loudly about getting development or alpha versions of things, since Apple's been getting more and more freaked about software leaks (and I don't blame them...) -- Chuq Von Rospach chuq@sun.COM Delphi: CHUQ I don't work for no 'Toon!

I believe this is Apple's system: 1.0 - first major release 1.1 - first minor release 1.1.1 - first bug fix to the first minor release 1.0d1 - first development release 1.0d2 - second "" "" 1.0a1 - first alpha release 1.0b1 - first beta release etc... nicky@cup.portal.com or try these: sun!cup.portal.com!nicky sun.com!cup.portal.com!nicky sun!portal!cup.portal.com!nicky
