“The HyperCard Roundup” is a HyperCard 2.3.X stack that has tons of scripts and easy to use features for all levels of HyperTalk and HyperCard programming: Common questions and scripts, users can add their own scripts to the stack for later reference, an interactive script tester for buttons and fields, powerful find and replace scripts, design guidelines, complex scripts, 26 utility stacks for registered users, and much more. This stack is a utility that HyperCard users can’t live without!
If you don’t have HyperCard 2.3 or later contact us for the HyperCard 2.3 player made especially for this product. You’ll be able to view, print, and copy scripts from the stack to use in older versions of HyperCard. However, it’s a good idea to upgrade to HyperCard 2.3 or later to take full advantage of all the scripts and HyperCard/HyperTalk.
If you are interested in purchasing several copies for a school lab or business contact us about special bulk discount rates.
Registered users will be given the option to receive 26 utility stacks included with the package, a total of 5 disks, if desired. Upon registration you’ll be mailed these stacks for an extra $5 on top of the registration fee. In other words, you get 27 stacks, including the HyperCard Roundup, for just $30! If you require that the disk package be sent to you an extra charge for shipping and handling will be assessed. Each utility stack is explained below:

It is my hope that you value the opportunity to see programming interface and scripts on a developmental level, from intermediate to more advanced.
