The second beta-test of the 1.4.2 release of MetaCard is now
available. Though no new problems were discovered in the first beta,
a few new problems were reported against 1.4 after we released it that
we needed to take care of. Among them: problems saving the mctools
stack on HP systems, delays starting and stopping audio on SPARC
systems, a redraw problem with horizontal scrolling list boxes, and
non-functioning keyboard accelerators on some platforms.

One optimization has been included for good measure: response times
for buttons and fields placed over large images has been improved.
The improvement is dramatic in some cases (e.g., with full screen
images displayed over a network).

You can get the beta release from ftp.metacard.com:/MetaCard/B2. Get
the engine for your platform and the mctools stack (the other stacks
haven't changed). Six engines have been built for this release:
SPARC, SPARCSVR4, IRIS, HP9K700, RS6000, and Linux. All engines will
be built for the final 1.4.2 release which should be in a couple of
weeks.
Hope you'll be able to take this for a spin soon,
Scott
