A2 FAQ Stack (HCGS) now available



Several weeks ago, the issue of a stack version of the A2 FAQ
with the functionality of the html version was raised.  The idea
was to make a readily browsable desktop reference that could
be navigated with the mouse.  The FAQ maintainer, Nathan Mates,
said "if anyone wants to do a stack version, they're welcome
as long as it can easily keep up."  A week ago, I posted again
to see if Nate had any objections.  He did not, so I went ahead
and scripted.  The Apple II FAQ Reference Stack is the result.
This is a HyperCard IIGS stack version of the FAQ that I can
easily update whenever the text version is posted.  Unfortunately,
it is not quite automatically updatable, although very close
(there is a limit to my scripting skills).  If at some time in
the future, better scripters such as Gareth Jones wants to take
over, please say so.  Until then, enjoy the reference stack.

I just dropped the a2faqhc.bsq archive into both the upload
directory of ground and the incoming directory of caltech.
Please post what you think.

(I used version 1.1 of HCGS, so beware...it might not react well
to version 1.0)
