HYPERSTUDIO® PREVIEW "READ ME"
---------------------------------------------------------------
PLEASE SHARE THIS CD WITH YOUR FRIENDS!
OR, TELL THEM TO PHONE 01474 357350 FOR THEIR OWN COPY!
The HyperStudio Preview CD-ROM includes a HyperStudio License
specially designed to introduce you to this exciting new software.
The HyperStudio Preview is intended to be shared with others! (Of
course, we ask that you do not share the actual "for-sale" version
of the software!)
This is a fully functional version of HyperStudio, but is set up
in an innovative way to give you the greatest degree of freedom in
exploring the software. It has full menus for adding text, sounds,
buttons, etc.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
-------------------
The HyperStudio Preview software works on any Acorn computer
running RISC OS 3.1 or later, with a minimum of 4MB memory.
To run the HyperStudio Preview directly from the CD, locate the
HYPSTUDIO folder on the CD-ROM (this will open automatically the
first time you look at the CD) and double-click "!STARTHERE" to run
the HyperStudio Preview. (Or see the section 'Running the
HyperStudio Preview from the CD-ROM' below.)
IMPORTANT: Acorn Replay is required to view movies on the Preview
CD. This should already be installed on your computer.
RUNNING THE HYPERSTUDIO PREVIEW FROM THE CD-ROM
-----------------------------------------------
If you have found this !ReadMe file on the CD, you can start at
step 5. '!STARTHERE' is located next to '!README'.
1. Insert the CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
2. Click on the CD-ROM icon at the left of the icon bar.
3. CDFS::AUCD3.$ will open. CDFS::AUCD3.$.HYPSTUDIO may open.
4. If necessary, double-click on HYPSTUDIO to open
CDFS::AUCD3.$.HYPSTUDIO.
5. Run '!STARTHERE'.
The free memory in your computer will be checked. If there is not
enough to run the introductory stacks with the HyperStudio Preview
application, you will be given the chance to free some memory or
use the HyperStudio Player (a cut down version of HyperStudio which
allows you to view stacks but not edit them).
6. You will see some pictures of rocks with words on. The first
time you use the CD, you are advised to wait for an introduction to
HyperStudio. This will be started automatically after about 10
seconds (unless you click on a rock first).
• click on 'Info' to see this text again
• click on 'The HyperStudio Story' to view a shortened version of
the HyperStudio introduction.
INSTALLING THE HYPERSTUDIO PREVIEW ONTO YOUR HARD DISK
------------------------------------------------------
Once you have viewed the introduction to HyperStudio, you might
find it convenient to install the HyperStudio Preview application
onto your hard disk. To do this, quit HyperStudio, then run the
!INSTALL application (located inside HSINSTALL).
If you choose a full installation, sample resources will be
installed. If you choose a reduced installation, only the
HyperStudio application and home stack will be installed.
USING THE PREVIEW VERSION
-------------------------
When a stack is opened, the SAVE AS menu item will be disabled.
This will let you explore existing stacks, including editing items
there, and even adding your own improvements. However, you will not
be able to save your modifications.
When you choose NEW, or create a new stack by clicking on the
HyperStudio icon on the icon bar, the SAVE AS option will be
ENABLED! This means you can create any new HyperStudio project you
wish (up to four cards), and save it! Please remember, though, that
once you have saved your new project, you'll no longer be able to
save any further changes to it, although you certainly can still
open and run it.
Not only can you try out the many creative options of this
software, but you'll find samples of stacks created by a
variety of users, and examples of movies, digitized pictures and
sound, and much more.
HyperStudio is available in the UK from TAG Developments Ltd (01474
357350). Network, site and school area licenses are also available.

"FREE" Painting Program
-----------------------
Because this "Preview Version" of HyperStudio DOES allow you to
both import and export screens without any limitations, the
software on this disk CAN be used as a painting program
independently of its mulitmedia authoring abilities! So, don't
overlook the long-term value of this preview software! Enjoy it,
and let us know if we can be of any further assistance!
