HC import has been broken since the LC 7 rewrite but it still works in LC version 6.x. So you need to open the HC stack in LC 6, save it, and then open it in LC 9. You may get some errors that are easy to fix. The most common errors are unquoted literals and using reserved words as variable

Hi Ingar, The only reason I can see for wanting HC again is if you have tons and tons of old HC stacks that you really need to be able to run without having to do the work of turning them in to LC stacks. If that isn’t the case for you, then I wouldn’t waste the time. LC is the all grown-up

Yet one more take. Years ago, when I first started LC, I still mainly used HC for business and pleasure. I still do. I was one of those die-hard nostalgia types that accepted LC, but all the while stubbornly stuck to, and extolled, my HC roots. Revolutionaries die hard. I regularly update and

Yes, I have "done", and in so doing I asked myself some pretty warped questions, of which the signal one was, "What on earth am I doing this for when the LiveCode IDE can be simplified sufficiently to exclude all developments post version 7 anyway?" Richmond. On 26.01.19 17:01, Roger Guay

I’ll join this chorus as well and add that LC has become what I had hoped Hypercard would become back in the day. LC is Hypercard on steroids! If your goal is to simplify LC, then do as I believe Richmond has already done, and build a simplified (limited) tool palette in LiveCode and call it

I concur with the other replies so far. LiveCode is HyperCard. If you want to limit yourself to only cards, fields, and buttons, just do so. You can do pretty much everything HyperCard did: create a stack of multiple cards; place buttons and fields on cards; draw on cards; navigate between

I learnt a lot from HyperCard in 1993 . . . when watching my 6 month year old son. However, my son is now working his way towards his 27th birthday, and does not need the sort of attention from me that he needed then. LiveCode IS, to all intents and purposes, HyperCard, in much the same way

As someone who last year sold all my PPC Mac Minis that ran HyperCard, I’d suggest that you either get a version of Mac OS 9 running in a simulator, and run the real HyperCard, or switch to Livecode in all its glory. Trying to build a limited version of Livecode, that mimics HyperCard, seems
