Don't be so quick to gloat.  :-)

I've never seen the disk library for Shareware Solutions II so I can't
comment on that part.  I don't remember ever seeing anything like that
listed in the PDE stuff and I've gone through most, if not all, of
their stuff as it was made available for download from Canada Remote
Systems (CRS or canrem.com) years ago before an ISP bought them out
and shut them down.

After being told the URL of the "HyperCardPlayer" I downloaded it and
compared it to the actual HyperCardIIGS application.  The Icon Info
from the Finder for both applications is _identical_ except for the
name of the application.  They are both listed as HyperCard IIGS 1.1,
GS/OS application, 644,910 bytes, 598K on disk, Copyright 1990-91
Apple Computer, Inc., Created: Mon, Feb 10, 1992, 6:37 PM, Modified:

This says to me that someone just uploaded the HCGS application with a
small Home stack and the icons.  This would mean that this program is
on ground illegally as even with HCGS being reclassified as system
software, you are not allowed to distribute it in a modified form.

As I said before, I have never heard of a HyperCard IIgs player ever
and I've have always strived to keep as well informed as I can.  And
also as I said before, it doesn't really matter now as the full
version of HCGS is now available for free as a system software
download.
