Mark, you're a genius. Compacting the stack before transferring it did the trick. It's a small stack 56k, but was 201k before compacting. Lots of bloat!

Thanks, this needs to go down in the FAQs!

Hi Joe,

Did you compact the stack in HyperCard before importing it? It happens very rarely (never happened to any of my own stacks), but there might be some garbage in your stack that makes Rev think it isn't a HyperCard stack.

Is the file size different, after you have copied it over to the Mac OS X machine? Do you use any compression tools when transferring it to the other machine?

Best regards,

Mark Schonewille

Hi Mark,

Yes, I use it every day, though not on OSX - on a G4 running 9.2.2.

Get Info shows its Kind as an HyperCard document, but when I put an extension of .mc (I had also tried .rev earlier), it says the Kind is a StackRunner document. Except for going back to 2.7.4 and converting it, I don't have any other ideas.
