Re: displaying as currency values (styledText?)

I know it isn't going to be native (although 25 years after the release of HyperCard, it's just plain bizarre that fields don't have soda sheet-style formatting!). I'm still not clear how styledText and the like work (and again find it bizzare that this is lost when copying a field from one card to ...

Re: Converting from SuperCard 1.5 (seriously! :shock:)

I doubt I'll hit much of that--there wasn't really any sophisticated manipulation of objects. Generally, the input of data into fields, and the manipulation and placing of filled fields. It's just *so* much easier to move forward and change from something that executes and works than it is to start ...

My stacks are early...

Converting from SuperCard 1.5 (seriously! :shock:)

Heather sent me the old supercard conversion utilities. However, it seems that 1.5 doesn't recognize the export tool as a supercard stack :shock: )

Is there an intermediate conversion tool to get from SuperCard 1.5 to something newer?
