About this Stack - The STDS9.Guide2.1c Patch Stack
===============================================
 
This is a stack that needs to be used to "patch" some missing information
in the "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Episode Guide Ver 2.1c"
( STDS9.Guide2.1c ) HyperCard stack that I posted to
comp.binaries.apple2 a little while ago.
 
Patching the Stack
-----------------
To patch the DS9 stack, click on the "Patch the DS9 Ver 2.1c Stack"
button. You'll get a file dialog box appear with which you'll have to
use to
choose the "STDS9.Guide2.1c" stack. The stack will then be patched. If you
choose the wrong stack you'll be warned and that stack won't be touched. It
must be the stack called "STDS9.Guide2.1c" !! Once you have patched the
"STDS9.Guide2.1c" stack, you will be informed that it was successful and
given the option to return to the "Patch stack", "Quit Hypercard" or
"Stay in the DS9" stack. Just click whichever button you want.
 
What Happened and why
--------------------
 
Apparently, the Long Synopsis information for cards 20 through to 24 was
chopped off 3/4 of the way through leaving the info incomplete. Something
of a real pain!
 
Apparently when opening and reading a file through HyperTalk commands,
only up to the first 16K of the file can be read !!! I wasn't aware of
this until I happened to read through the Long Synopsis info on the
episode "The Homecoming" that I was made aware that some info was missing.
 
This Patch Stack will install the full Long Synopsis information for
cards 20 to 24 of the "STDS9.Guide2.1c" stack if you follow the steps
given above.
 
Sorry about any problems this has caused!!
