Message-ID: <62912GFX@PSUVM> Date: 28 Nov 88 04:31:22 GMT Organization: Penn State University - Center for Academic Computing Lines: 10 I archive papers abstracts with Hypercard 1.0 on a Mac SE with 1 Meg. The stack contains 1211 cards and takes approximately 1.6Meg of disk space. It sorted without problem at 1210 cards, but prompted me with "Not enough ..." at 1211 cards. I issued the same command again, and this time it sorted successfully. Can someone tell me how does Hypercard uses memory to do sorts? Am I about to be unable to sort anymore if the stacks grows bigger (as it will for sure), or will I have to reissue the command a couple of times? Has the problem been solved in later releases?
