    Quick Compacter 2.0 is a HyperCard stack that compacts other HyperCard
stacks. It has many features that are not found in other stacks of this type.
Specifically, you can compacter one stack, multiple stacks, an entire folder of
stacks, a volume (disk) of stacks, all mounted volumes and finally a user
defined list of stacks. Many of these features can be found in other compaction
stacks, but this is the only stack (that I know of) that puts all these features
in one. There are help files available under the button "Help--> Help File" on
the main card.
    One of the features that is unique to Quick Compacter is its ability to
compact a stack or series of stacks regardless of the freespace in those stacks.
This is useful for when Apple releases a new version of HyperCard. Apple
recommended, "For optimal performance, use HyperCard Version 1.2.5 to compact
stacks created with earlier versions of HyperCard." in the release notes stack
that came with HyperCard 1.2.5. Quick Compacter 2.0 makes this tedious process
very simple.
    Quick Compacter 2.0 needs at least version 1.2.2 of HyperCard. It does
work with version 1.2.5.
    Quick Compacter 2.0 is shareware. I ask that you send me $10.00 (US) if
you find this stack useful. I will keep a record of those who register and will
send them information about the next released version of Quick Compacter as well
as any updates to version 2.0. I am always looking for suggestions or problems
that users have for Quick Compacter. If you would like to report a suggestion,
problem or would like to send me a shareware fee, please contact me at:
