Ok...let's see if someone can figure out the rhyme and reason to this one...I'm stumped. Mac SE/30 System 6.0.5 Multifinder 6.1b9 Desktop Manager IconWrap 1.2 HyperCard 2.0 Click in the arrows of any scrolling field in HyperCard 2.0 and the application exits with the typical "out of memory." IconWrap is the culprit here. Remove it and everything runs fine, whether I'm running one INIT or dozens. And I always thought it was perfectly harmless...

It's certainly bizarre, since I'm running an identical software setup on my IIcx and haven't been able to duplicate the problem. I've tried various combinations of INITs, running with and without 32-Bit QuickDraw, etc. What makes the problem really interesting is that the original version of IconWrap had problems with HC 1.x fields, just as you describe. This was because that version of IconWrap tail-patched _CopyBits, interfering with the wonderful and strange return-address checking dependencies in the system. Version 1.2 was a "clean" rewrite, at least in terms of structure. The only thing I can think of at the moment is that either your version of "IconWrap 1.2" is not *really* 1.2 (2878 bytes, 4/4/89), or your copy of HyperCard 2.0 is different (I'm running the "gold" 2.0 from the 5-disk set, created 8/31/90.) I know, they're the same. Just checking. If anybody else is having this problem, please e-mail me with info about your system configuration, list of INITs, etc. I'd like to nail this down and stomp on it. >And I always thought it was perfectly harmless... > >Ken No, HyperCard is actually quite dangerous, which is why naive users have to be protected by restricting their user level choices in the Home stack.
