HyperPoc Version 2.26 - Release Notes
=====================================
Program Description
-------------------
HyperPoc is a card oriented hypertext and hypermedia system.
Cards are organised in stacks (files).
Cards may be superimposed with backgrounds.
Cards and backgrounds can contain a variety of objects, such as:
application, bitmap (animated), card link, clock, explainer, hotTab, icon (animated),
keyword, music, phone number, polyline, rectangle, text.
Functions include:
Invocation of Series 3 applications, several navigation functions, phone dialling,
alarms, stopwatch.
Comes with over 30 icons and 20 tunes.
Applications
------------
Storing a network of informations. Multimedia documents.
Suggestion for those who have megabytes of WORD-documents in their pockets:
Create a card with a short description and keywords for each document and place a button for
the document onto the card. Use the HyperPoc to find a document, press the button
and your document shows up.
Use HyperPoc as a database, e.g. for addresses. You may include graphics, link an address to
another (e.g. a person to a company), display a clock with a time shift beside a phone number
for overseas addresses (you don't want to call them at 3am !), link a word processor document
to an address for a dossier of your last meeting, link an alarm clock to a person for her/his
birthday, and so on.
Requirements
------------
Please see the installation utility for detailled disk requirements.
The total amount of disk space necessary for a full installation
is approximately 150k.
When active, the system requires >23k of memory, depending on the size of bitmaps used.
MORPHEUS requires constantly 10k of memory.
We recommend to install system, manual, icons and tunes on flash SSD.
Platforms
---------
This program runs on PSION S3 and S3a and on Acorn PowerBook I & II
in native mode.
On Acorn PowerBook I an extra OPL translator is needed to make use
of the HyperPoc OPL programming interface.
New in Version 2.2
------------------
1. Text editing has been improved, using faster routines
and a flashing cursor.
2. You can switch sounds off and on (Battery saver)
3. You can switch animation off (Battery saver)
4. The menus have been slighty rearranged.
5. There is a new function "Object Info" in retrieval mode
6. A new function "Import text" in the editor allows to place any text
coming from an ASCII or WORD file on a card.
Text emphasis from WORD files are maintained.
(commercial version)
7. You can now choose between different Card Sizes.
The cards may be smaller or bigger than the physical screen.
If they smaller they are piled on top of each other in a random
fashion. If they are bigger, they are scrolled with the cursor
movement, or you can scroll them with Control/Cursorkeys, to
look into non cursor areas.
8. Links to Application completely redesigned.
!!! This means that cards from earlier versions
containing links to OPA's must be reedited !!!
The benefit is greater flexibility and comfort when
linking OPA's.
9. Support of Grey colour. In HyperPoc Grey is simulated as a b&w
pattern. This is to save memory and keep the cards compatible
with the S3-HyperPoc.
10. New attributes for text and rectangle.
11. Optional return to retrieval mode after editing HotTab objects.
12. Optional help clues for cards (HyperPoc card system can
contain help information on cards)
13. Optional card lock to inhibit accidental editing of a card.
(Card attributes)
14. Improved cursor logic.
15. Background can be suppressed for individual cards
16. Navigation by alpha-key has been extended from hypertext references
to any type of named objects. Press the first letter of an object
name and the cursor will jump there.
17. Objects can now have icon+name as representation.
Bitmap printing (since V2.26)
-----------------------------
Cards can now be printed in graphical form on Epson, HP and
compatible printers. However there are some things to consider:
- Alarm clocks contained on cards are not printed.
Instead a dummy icon is printed.
- Do not print graphical data through MCPRINT, as output
