- > question mark icons that can't be executed.
-
- The HQX part of the file is just the text-encoding part of the file.
- You normally still have an archive file (like a SIT file or a CPT file)
- underneath.
-
- The normal solution is to run Stuffit Expander and have it deHQX the
- file, then run it again to dearchive the contents of the archive.
-
- You can set Stuffit Expander's preferences to do it all in one shot.

- Hypercard is an interesting macro language based on the concept of a
- series (or "stack") of "cards". You can add buttons, bitmaps, and
- input fields to cards, and my impression is that Hypercard stacks can
- get fairly complex (example, the Mac-based UTS terminal emulator I use
- at work has a Hypercard API so a Hypercard stack can hook into a number
- of terminal functions and play around on the terminal like a user).
-
- I don't know a lot about it, but it looks like a neat concept from the
- little bits I've seen.
