Apologies -- couldn't send an e-mail to you, this seemed like the best option.

EDIT: WHOA, the moment I posted this, I figured out the way to patch the Resource fork back in!! I would still really love to speak with you, though-- our tremendously esoteric interests overlap, hahaha.

The Terminal code was... (though you probably know this)

dd if=/スタック缶/RESOURCE.FRK/‚ ‚肪\~1 of=/スタック缶/ありがとう1/..namedfork/rsrc

Hallo! : ) I think your e-mail on zathras.de is broken. Either that or I have no clue what the Captcha is supposed to be.

First off, thank you for being such a champion to HyperCard-- I don't think I'd ever have gotten ANYWHERE as a kid if not for its simplicity.

Secondly, I found you through your post on the HyperCard Mailing List, where you mentioned the way to bypass deleted Resource Forks through a SetFile command line tool. Besides the side-effects you mentioned, this worked PERFECTLY, and I'm so grateful. Some of my HyperCard stacks from when I was younger got corrupted in a drive failure, and the recovered bits didn't work until I used this prompt.

Lastly, I have a bit of an interesting situation with some HyperCard stacks I received today. So, I'm a big fan of a HyperCard developer from Japan named Himetaro. You probably know of her work in some small way if you're THIS devoted to HyperCard. She put out some shareware on floppy disks & CDs back in the day, and I was able to contact someone for the files on one of those floppies.

The only issue is-- it was not stored in any way that would preserve the connection between resource fork and the actual stack, and a lot of these had great sound & colour. BUT, if you look at what was provided to me, there's a folder named RESOURCE.FRK, with three files that seem to correspond with the three HyperCard stacks. ... is there anyway to MERGE the fork back into the stack?

Anyway, all the very best-- thank you so much for your Time, and I look forward to hearing back from you!

-- Oh-- and while I'm at it, when I tried to use Stacksmith on Mojave 10.14.6, it wouldn't let me create a new stack, or even open the stack I closed. When I try to create a new project, there are no options to choose from in the window it creates.

sIncerely,
sKye

Hi! Great you found a solution yourself!

Yeah, I'm currently stuck in a twisty little maze of rewriting a lot of things in Stacksmith, and the build on the downloads page still has a mysteriously broken templates panel. If you built from source it might work (because I temporarily removed that panel because I couldn't find what the bug was, and I want to rewrite it in Stacksmith itself eventually anyway).

Sure, feel free to hit me up via e-mail directly. "contact" at my domain should get a message to me. Otherwise, I'm also uliwitness and stacksmith on Twitter.

Weird thing about the mail form. I've heard several people say they couldn't get past the captcha, but spammers seem to have no problem... Sadly that's the old web site and it's hard to get fixed right now.

Hi, haven't heard back from you, would love to chat more, leaving this open in case you somehow can't e-mail my address or whatever.
