Thank you for choosing HyperWorks 3.22. If you like it and use it, please send $25.00 (United States currency only, please) to us at the address below. Going along with the United States Post Office’s recommendation, we do not recommend mailing cash. If it does get through, it is acceptable payment. We will accept a check or money order. Sorry, we cannot accept credit cards. If you are upgrading from a previous version of HyperWorks, please send us a registration form so we know you have it. You do not need to send any money for the new version. If you would like, you can send the info from the form via e-mail and save on postage.
HyperWorks 3.22a differs from 3.22 in that we have a new e-mail address (see below). We would also like to take a moment to address an issue that AOL reported as a bug. They noted that HyperWorks was asking where HyperWorks 3.22 and the 3.22untitled files were. This should occur only after first installing HyperWorks, or changing where HyperWorks is (this includes renaming the disk and a folder). This is so HyperWorks knows in the future where to look for its files. This is not unlike a program asking where its Preferences files are. We hope to improve this in a future version of HyperWorks.
After releasing HyperWorks 3.21, we discovered that all new files had an “H” added on to the beginning of the file’s name. This problem has been fixed in version 3.22.
HyperWorks 3.02 fixed a bug reported on America Online. Supposedly, on some of the buttons, the text was too large. We have changed both the font and the size to Chicago 12. If this problem still persists, please let us know.
A new feature added in HyperWorks 3.2 is the Distribution feature. This allows you to make a read-only version of any HyperWorks document, although it may not work correctly with files created with versions of HyperWorks before 3.2. In order to use the Distribution feature, you must register HyperWorks. When you register, we will send you a registration code for you to use. You are not permitted to distribute “regular” HyperWorks documents to other people unless they are also registered users of HyperWorks.
You may now be wondering why we do this, while most other programs will let you. The reason is simple. Say you’re using Mariner (a shareware spreadsheet program). You could give a spreadsheet to anyone without much of a problem. In order to read it, they would either have to translate the file to another program (perhaps Microsoft Excel), or have a copy of Mariner for themselves. The information is in your file, and the interface is in the Mariner program. But since HyperWorks uses HyperCard, the information and the interface are in the same file. So someone who has not even downloaded HyperWorks will be able to make their own files.
HyperWorks requires System 6.0.5 or newer, HyperCard 2.1 or newer, and a minimum of 2 megabytes of RAM. It may not function correctly with only 2 megabytes of RAM under System 7. We have no way to test it. Like everybody else, we recommend having 4 megabytes if you use System 7 anyway (actually, nowadays, everybody says 8MB is the minimum). This goes for System 7.0, System 7.0.1, System 7.1, System 7.1.1 (System 7 Pro), and System 7.1.2 (Power Macintosh). If you use System 7.5, you will probably need 8 megabytes of RAM to use HyperWorks. We use System 7.1, so we don’t really know.
For more information about the program, click the About HyperWorks 3.22 button on the main HyperWorks screen. Included there is all the legal (read B-O-R-I-N-G) mumbo-jumbo. But that’s way down on the bottom, and you’ll know when you get there.
We now have our own World Wide Web page! The URL is: http://www.geopages.com/TheTropics/1342/index.html
If you find any problems, bugs, incompatibilities with HyperWorks and anything else, please inform us of any problems via either electronic or regular mail.
