I have 10 hypercard stacks which I created about a year ago. The person I created them for now needs to fix typos in fields. The problem is that someone else stuck password protections on all the stacks, and I don't know what the password is. Hypercard won't even let me read the field from another stack. I wanted to know if there is a stack or program which can get through the password. If not, I'll have to have a go at it with a sector editor. I doubt the password would be there waiting for me in standard ascii, so what I am also looking for is a program which will look at two files, and tell me, what bytes exactly have been changed. My logic is that if I compare two copies of the same stack, one protected, one not, I could figure out what hypercard does, and where the password is. --I hope. --RS
