• You need Hypercard 2.0 or later to run the stack. The "Hypercard Player" included with most macs is all you need.
• If you have an earlier version of HC, many universities have a site license - check with your computer office.
• Hypercard 2.0 requires at least 2 MB RAM - you probably won't be able to run this stack on a mac plus unless you have upgraded the memory.
• The stack includes documentation to help you get started.
**** version 1.4 notes Aug 30, 1993
• spaces used on the grading prefs card were treated as zeros - this "feature" has been eliminated. You have to use numbers, or blanks.
• you may assign students grades of "M" (missing). "M" scores will show up a student's missing scores list, and count as zeros for averaging purposes.
-- this was the "X" score in v1.3
• you may also assign grades of "X". These scores will not show up on the student's missing score list, and will not be considered in averages.
**** version 1.5 notes Sept 4, 1993
• fixed a bug in the "complete student report" option on the print card.
• fixed the "Table Template" report format for stylewriters and laserwriters. Replaced by "table template II"
