Okay, i will try to keep this short.
I took a hypercard class and made about 20 hypercard stacks. I wanted to take these stacks home, so I copied them to a zip disk. Once home, I mounted the disk in my linux system, set my Unix root setting in basilisk 2 to the disk, and copied my folder over. The problem is, though I have hypercard reader installed, for some reason it does not recognise the stacks. Can somebody please tell me how to get it to pick up the stacks?

I am running bare bone 7.5.5, Basilisk 2, on Kubuntu Dapper, If it helps.

Thanks in advance.

Well seeing as nobody cares, I will post my true feelings about apple.

Its crap. It sucks. I can't even open my hypercard files. Its pricey. OS X is a copy of KDE. I can't even comprehend an operating system not powerful enough to change file name extensions. I have dumped my emulator, and the stacks.

Thanks for all of your help, you guys are real life savers.

I must be missing something here. Hypercard stacks on a Zip disk running under Kubuntu with a System 7 emulator? And it doesn't work? And it is Apple's fault?!

rowdy, this is absolutely untrue. As a Kubuntu user, I am sure that you must be aware that the OS X GUI and KDE have wholly different origins and development teams. Further "OS X" refers to the complete OS - "KDE" refers only to a powerful desktop environment that runs on top of an OS. In fact, you can run KDE on OS X via the good graces of tools such as DarwinPorts if you wish.

There is a HUGE difference between the two.
