HyperCard 2.0: Problem with Appointments Stack (7/92)

This article describes a problem with the Appointments stack that was
shipped with HyperCard 2.0. It is fixed in HyperCard 2.1.

If you try to return to a day that has been previously deleted, and allow
the stack to try to create the cards to get to that day, then the stack
will go into a loop, and create new cards for as long as you have hard disk
space. Moreover, since the cantAbort property is set by the script to
true, Command-period does not interrupt it.

Note that some customers received version 2.1 of the application but have
the 2.0 version of the stack. Check the stack script to find the version of
the stack.
