This stack was made with HyperCard version 2.0, and should also be fully System 7.x compatible. If you are reading this, you must have the correct version, because previous HyperCard versions can't read stacks in HyperCard 2.0 format. If you are using System 7.x you should use HyperCard 2.1 or later with this stack. A hard drive is recommended, as finding and other operations may take a bit longer from a floppy disk. At least two megabytes of memory are also recommended to make full use of the stack. With this stack installed, about a megabyte of free disk space is recommended so it can compact. If you find that you still are confused, I encourage you to experiment with the stack and its buttons. I think the stack is rather intuitive. Otherwise, that's it. There is full scripting access, so users may customize or add to the stack as they wish. I hope you have fun and are able to benefit from this stack!
