Hyper-Mail 1.1 is a show-your-wares product. That means you are absolutely not obligated to send any money for the software, BUT you are required to send me mail (or E-mail) with comments, suggestions and ideas.
If you write with suggestions, I will be more than elated to incorporate more features and/or bug fixes and send out a new version (as evidenced by V. 1.1), but only if I find that someone, somewhere is actually getting some benefit from the product.
I originally created this stack to manage the growing mailing list for my business, but as with most things in my life, it quickly grew arms and legs and I incorporated tons of address book/rolodex type features in it. The result is a multi-purpose stack with some very excellent (and powerful) features. It could easily act as a replacement for the Address Book stack that comes with Hypercard 2.0. To accomplish this, export your addresses from the Addresses stack to a TEXT file, then open my stack and import that file. (Go to the "Exchange" card by clicking that button, select "Import Text" and Un-Check the box next to field "Title". Then click "Do It". You will see an Open File dialog. Navigate your hard disk to find the file you just exported from the Addresses stack and click "Open".) You will find this stack to be much faster at almost everything, and the extended features will come in very handy if you spend a little time trying to be productive.
There are, however, some very noticable holes here-and-there. This is because I don't have a need for these features and, therfore, am not motivated to spend the time scripting them, although now I spend more of my free time working on the stack. One noticeable one is the inability to exchange data directly to/from HC stacks. This is why I urge you to write with suggestions. There may also be a few bugs that I didn't find; if you find one and tell me about it, you can be sure that I'll fix it.
Thanks,

VERSION HISTORY:
1.0 - released early 3/93.
1.1 - released 3/15/93. V. 1.1 fixes a bug in the "Mark" card - I (quite stupidly) omitted the "Street" field from the dialog box. This screwed up the marking routine for pretty much everything. Also found a bug in the "Exchange" card from an incorrectly identified button. Added status fields, put the sort menu on a card instead of a window, textarrows are useable and configureable on the prefs card, H-M will now automatically dial "1" befor non-local calls, added auto-compac preference.
