As has been pointed out by others, Rev can *read* HC stacks just fine. HyperTalk and Transcript (the respective languages of HC and Rev) are similar enough that many bits of HyperTalk code will just work -- but *other* bits of HyperTalk code won't work, and will need to be fixed by a human being. So if the errors you're getting are "hey, this code doesn't work!"-type errors, this is only to be expected. Hopefully, any "this code doesn't work"-type errors contain enough clues that you can figure out *why* Rev doesn't like that particular bit of code, and fix the problem. If, on the other hand, you're getting "hey, I can't even READ this file!"-type errors, there may be something odd about the HC stack. I would suggest that you open it up in HC, compact it three times, and *then* try opening it in Rev. The reason for triple-compaction: I am given to understand that there are some things HC doesn't do to a stack the first time, which it does on the second & third times.
Hope this helps... _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
