HyperCard: Problem with CD-Audio XCMDs from Voyager (12/95)


Some users, when they try to run their HyperCard 1.x stacks under HyperCard

2.0.v2, they find their previously working CD-Audio commands no longer

work.


Apple and Voyager both sold CD-Audio XCMDs. They were both the same product as Voyager licensed them from Apple. However, Voyager included ResCopy (the old version) to install the externals. This caused a problem when the CD-Audio externals are installed with the old version of ResCopy, the stack will not work properly under HyperCard 2.x.



To fix the problem, re-install the XCMD using either ResEdit or Resource

Mover (found in the Power Tools stack).



All the development tools available from Apple are included with version 2.3 of HyperCard. CD-Audio XCMDS are not part of the HyperCard 2.3 tools and are no longer available from Apple. The Voyager company still offers the CD-Audio XCMDs.
