HyperCard: Compact Color Database Causes Some Color Loss 2/96

After using "Compact Color Database" from the Edit menu of the color tools environment, some of the cards of my stack lost all their color objects.
This issue occurs in HyperCard 2.3 when used in conjunction with Color Tools Stack versions 2.3 through 2.3.3. This is due to an error in the AC_Compact handler in the Color Tools stack script. The solution for this problem is to update to the HyperCard 2.3.5 Stacks update posted online.


These articles can help you locate the HyperCard 2.3.5 Stacks mentioned here:

* "Where To Find Apple Software Updates" - Lists online services for free Apple software updates.

* "Obtaining Apple Product Support in the USA" - Lists 800 numbers and online services for software updates, Apple support information, and a subset of the Apple Tech Info Library.
