The Point Foundation (Whole Earth Catalog folks) are putting the
entire catalog into HyperCard. Someone told me that at the Expo
they had about 17Meg completed, although I don't know if that was
many stacks or one stack. Apple no doubt sees this product as a
gateway into the optical disk world (or a similar product, at least)
so my first guess is that it won't choke on a large stack. For
complex searches, you'll have to write the scripts yourself, or
find some written.
Sorry this is all speculation. Perhaps someone has a definitive answer.
