I've been real busy lately so I haven't had a chance to do some of the
replies that I've really wanted to but I will repeat, the S16
application in the HCGSPlayer.SHK file is the complete, unmodified
HCGS application.  You can create new stacks and modify existing ones
with it if you rename, delete or move the Home stack that comes with
it.

The only thing that makes it so you can't create or modify stacks is
that Home stack.

By the way, the full set of six disks for HCGS consists of:

     Disk 1 - The installer and the Tour stack
     Disk 2 - The HCGS application and the Home stack
     Disk 3, 4, 5 & 6 - More stacks

It seems pretty obvious to me that someone managed to fool a lot of
people into thinking the archive was legitimate and that is why it
appearred in the Big Red Computer Club and Shareware Solutions II disk
libraries as well as the Trenco FTP site.
