I think "total chaos" is a little extreme.  ;-)  Anyway, you can find
hypercard 1.2.2 at your local "Authorized Apple Dealer."  Hypercard 1.2.2
works just fine on my Mac // running 6.0.2, but I believe it was shipped
with 6.0.3.  No, I haven't made the magical jump to 6.0.4 because I have
had no reason to bother.  If I couldn't read the Tech Notes stack, THAT
would have been reason.  :-)

Cheers!
