A question: when I build a metaCard standalone it builds ands
runs ok, _however: the standalone is about 2.5 meg - much
larger than a standard 1.44 meg disk.
In hyperCard one can 'reduce' the size of a standalone
by eliminating resources in the resource fork. However
since MC is cross platform, and since other platforms
do not distinguish between data and resource forks I am
a bit at a loss as to how to slim down the standalone.
Even compression using stufFit is probably not enough.
Any ideas?
Oh, as you may have guessed I am on a mac platform. However
the help box explains that the mac platform can build a
standalone for ibm compatibles. I presume just by adding the
suffix .exe (during the construction process, not afterwards)
If anyone has ideas on these issues, or references please let
me know (and now, off to the archive list where i shall swim through a sea of
data...)
