HyperCard 2.0v2, Oracle, and Home Stack Versions (7/92)

The 2.0v.2 Home stack should be used with HyperCard 2.0v.2. The two must
run hand-in-hand. Some of the bug fixes from 2.0v.1 to 2.0v.2 contained
fixes to the application and the Home stack as well. The same is true of
2.1.

This may be a particular problem for Oracle users. Oracle is a mainframe
database application that uses HyperCard as an interface or "front-end" for
the Macintosh. Installation of the Oracle XCMDs modifies the Home stack.

Oracle users have reported that when they use the Home stack from an older
version of HyperCard with HyperCard 2.0, their application slows down
considerably.
