How to Use Script Optimizer
---------------------------
Script Optimizer 1.0 requires HyperCard version 2.1 or later, and at least as much free disk space as the size of the stack to be optimized.
1. Double-click the Script Optimizer stack to open it.
2. Click Open… (or press the Return key).
3. Select the stack you want to optimize.
4. Select the optimizations you would like to perform.
5. Select the scripts you want to perform the selected
optimizations on.
To select or deselect all options, hold down the Option
key as you click.
6. Click Start.
A dialog box asks you to confirm that you have made a
backup copy. Script Optimizer makes permanent changes
to a stack. Be sure to only work on a backup copy of
the stack (and test that it functions correctly after
it has been optimized) before replacing the original.
Script Optimizer highlights the icon for the optimization it is currently performing, the icon for the script it is currently working on, and displays a progress bar.
To stop the optimization at any time, click the Stop button. After confirming your action, Script Optimizer will cancel any changes it has made so far, leaving the original stack intact. (At certain times, the Stop button is dimmed and the current process cannot be canceled.)
After completing the optimization(s) and saving the new scripts, Script Optimizer displays a brief summary of the changes that it has made.
To view a more detailed report, click the More… button. Script Optimizer displays a progress bar while it writes the report. To save this report to a text-only document, click the Save button that appears.
