Jamie,
As I understand it the new (3.0) Hyperstudio use a "flat" stack so that the
same stack can be used with both macs and windows machines. A macintosh file
has two parts or forks while a Dos/Windows file only has one part. When a
2.0 stack is read into hyperstudio 3.0 it "flattens" the stack and makes
compatible with the Windows version of Hyperstudio. This flattening makes
the 3.0 stacks incompatible with version 2.0 of hyperstudio.
