FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 8/2/93
HyperAct Expands Windows HELP Functionality
PGH, PA -- Infotivity Technologies Inc. announces HyperAct(tm),
a Windows application that allows the creation of dialog boxes,
collection of user input, edit system control files, and perform other
functions, ALL WITHOUT WRITING A SINGLE LINE of code! "HyperAct
allows for the economic creation of HELP that actually performs the
work suggested by the topic" stated Greg Lohr, CEO of Infotivity
Technologies. In addition, he said "HyperAct can reduce the time
needed to develop highly interactive and complex HELP or CUSTOM Windows
controls by as much as 90%. A brief description of HyperAct follows.
No programming experience is needed to use HyperAct! The ability
to use standard Windows Help or Notepad commands is all that's needed,
according to Lohr. All topic specific functions are performed by
using the simple, yet detailed, HyperAct options. It's also usable
by any help authoring system that creates Windows HELP. By using
HyperAct you can:
1. Create or edit any type of system initialization or
configuration file for Windows or MS-DOS.
2. All editing may be done with a clear audit trail - the
old parameter is commented out, not deleted.
3. Display a dialog box for user input. The dialog box
may have up to 6 fields with custom field labels, each with
COMPLEX VALIDATION. For example, if numbers are valid any other
entry character produces an error message, or if only values
5 up to 21 are valid, an entry of 3 produces an error, or if
only D: and E: are valid then A produces an error.
You can also have DROP DOWN value boxes appear, if desired.
4. CALL any other executable file from within an .HLP file,
MS-DOS or Windows EXE, COM, or BAT, with any required
switches.
5. De-caches and broadcasts changes to the WIN.INI file. This
eliminates or drastically reduces the need to RESTART
Windows.
6. Allows for automatic RESTARTING when needed, under user
control or totally automatically.
7. One HyperAct statement can control many different parameter
settings.
8. Run user defined controls outside of Windows Help from Command Lines
or Icons, independently of Windows Help. The new HyperAct TOOLBOX
permits desired control functions to be grouped together for
easy selection.
HyperAct makes developing truly interactive and AUTOMATIC help
a breeze when compared to the old method of writing usable controls
hand. The implications to user support issues are enormous. Call or
