you can put an autocompact handler in your hypercard
stacks...
on openstack
compact this stack
end openstack
on closestack
compact this stack
end closestack
You can even put handlers like this into your home
stack , i.e. with clever scripting you should not need
to put these handlers in each
BTW in the EPStoMetacard stack (I'm not sure
I'm using the last version though), and more
specifically in the bezier handler, is there a way
to modify the equations used to get x values (and
the corresponding y values) EQUALLY SPACED
on the x axis ?
Oviously, it has to do with the way v1 and v2
I managed to compile an external into a CODE
ressource and place it into mchelp.mc, just as
indicated in the ReadMe file under system 9.
So I'm happy, but still have a practical question
though : if I modify the C source code and
recompile it, it seems that Code Warrior refuses
to simply replace
Thanks for all your answers!

Some open just fine, while some stacks crash just when opening them.
AddColor has not presented a problem other than an error.
I believe that scripts in AppleScripts language could cause the
problem but must be verified.

FWIW, I've never knowingly compacted a stack before
importing it - and never
seen a problem caused by this - but it can't hurt!
Actually the metaCard documentation explicitly says you
should (i.e. must) compact stacks before importing
them. And I have had this cause runtime errors, though

Found another one recently: did you know that the
first Wiki was developed in HyperCard... then the
guy looked at porting it to MC...
Not developped in HyperCard. Only *inspired* by it.
Btw, the guy's name is Ward Cunningham, he's a
