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 names.

OK, it seems that I must give it a try. What LC-version should I use?

What about those small but important HC stacks causes them not to run in LiveCode? What errors do you get?

Hi Rick,
right on target. Not tons, but a small group that are very valuable to me.

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 version of HC
as others here have stated.

Likewise the cost to do what you want to do
after a simple cost benefit analysis I believe
would show that the cost isn’t worth the
little benefit you might get back.

Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Rick

Hi, all of you!
Twice I have asked through this list for help to get an idea about how much it would cost «to make HC great again», that is, to facilitate its use by means of an LC-app. I may not succeed in getting a Norwegian sponsor, but again I might. But certainly not without an approximate suggestion of the price. My email at the University of Oslo is ingar.rog...@sosiologi.uio.no. Why not give it a try?
