SHORT DESCRIPTION:
HyperPAD is _the_ hypermedia platform for character mode DOS. HyperPAD is a
fast and flexible object-oriented development tool featuring visual program-
ming and a full-featured, English-like object script language -- PadTalk.
Additionally, the PadTalk language can be extended with modules written in
Microsoft C, Borland/Turbo C++ or Assembly language. A great tool for
developing or prototyping any number of applications, HyperPAD is also a
great way to learn object-oriented programming techniques. HyperPAD also
comes with several dozen useful PADs (applications) as examples to get you
started. HyperPAD is produced by Brightbill-Roberts & Company and is a member
product of the Association of Shareware Professionals.
LONG DESCRIPTION:
HyperPAD is an object-oriented application development tool that makes you
more productive with your PC. HyperPAD also offers more than two dozen
personal applications, or "pads", each designed to help you manage infor-
mation and data easily and productively.
What is unique about HyperPAD is that you can easily personalize these
applications, even if you are not a programmer. HyperPAD's powerful tools
give you the ability to do things with your PC that you never thought you
could do yourself. As a programmer you will find HyperPAD to be a rich
environment that gives you a huge head start towards your finished product.
TOP PERFORMANCE ON EVERY PC. HyperPAD is designed to run on nearly any IBM
PC, PS/2 or close compatible. Its friendly user interface runs entirely in
the character mode. This brings you two important benefits:
o Character based systems like HyperPAD far outperform graphics
based systems like Microsoft Windows and OS/2 PM. Whether you
are using a run of the mill PC-XT or the fastest 80x86 on the
market, HyperPAD runs faster.
o You are assured that an extremely broad audience can run the
pads you develop, since nearly everyone has the minimal system
requirements of HyperPAD.
SPECIAL FEATURES. HyperPAD includes an easy to use DOS manager and something
far more powerful and useful. With HyperPAD you can link information by any
association thus creating powerful "hypertext" systems. You can create
interactive tutorials and computer based training (CBT) systems. You can
build flat file databases or front ends to corporate database systems. In
fact, as you use HyperPAD you'll find new applications almost daily.
"I didn't think it was possible to do such a nice job with
the character mode"
-- Mitch Kapor
"The Ultimate Launching Pad"
-- Esther Dyson, Release 1.0
"... deceptively simple but remarkably rich ..."
-- Jeffery Tartar, Soft_Letter
"PC managers, training directors, and the rest of us shouldn't
be without it."
-- Danny Goodman, PC World
"It's pretty cool!"
-- John C. Dvorak, Industry Columnist
REGISTRATION INFORMATION.
Complete registration information is provided in REGISTER.DOC. A registered
user receives the latest version of the program on diskette with a special key
file which displays user name and serial number, good for all future versions
of the program. Registered user mode has optional startup and pop down screen
bypass for faster use.
