Legacy and file format issues

[Richmond Mathewson]

So, couldn't resist it and opened a legacy format
stack as a text file (i.e. imported it into field
"fENTER") and tried this:

  replace oldTEX with newTEX in fld "fENTER"

where oldTEX is:

#!/bin/sh
# MetaCard 2.4 stack
# The following is not ASCII text,
# so now would be a good time to q out of more

exec mc $0 "$@"
                                                      
                                                      
               
    Í  TEST

           ˇˇˇˇ     
cREVGeneral 
  
stackfileversion  2.7  Í    	@          
ê

and newTEX is:

REVO2700
    Í  TEST 
 à@       © m
ê
êë          
 ˇˇˇˇ      Í    	@         

ê
êê 

and then exported the result . . .

but RR could not open the result (which should, in
theory, identify itself as a stack of the new format).

err . . .

bright ideas welcomed!

sincerely, Richmond Mathewson
