Re: HyperCard IIGS?



First, thanks to everybody who points me to ftp.support.apple.com to get
the HCIIGS bxy files.

But, now please HELP!!! I cannot get any of the files to work! This is my
story:

I am not able to upload/download software to/from my host machine and IIGS.
So I have to go a long way:

1. I ftp all 6 bxy files from the Apple sites. I even switch on the bin mode.
2. I copy all the files from my host machine (Sun 10) to 2 1.44MB PC formatted
   disk. (This includes some other Apple II related downloaded files)
3. Go to a Mac, format 6 disks in 800K ProDOS and copy all the files in the
   1.44MB PC formatted disk to them.
4. Back to GS, copy all the files into harddisk - and ShrinkIt cannot 
   recognize any of the 6 bxy HCIIGS files! But other downloaded files work!
5. Desparate, I try to read what it in the bxy files. Using raw data mode
   in ShadowWrite, the files are forked! The resource are empty, however.
6. Copy out the data fork also cannot work.

Please help! The whole process take more than an hour and I cannot get anything
to work, it is very irritating. Thanks for any help!
