HYPERHELPER 3.04 TRIAL KIT README
March 1, 1992
INTRODUCTION
Enclosed is your HyperHelper Trial Kit. You should have
the following files:
HCS.EXE Shareware version of the HyperHelper Compiler
HH.EXE The HyperHelper Browser
HHCFG.EXE The HyperHelper Configuration Utility
HP.EXE The HyperHelper Print Utility
MAN.HTX On-line HyperHelper Manual
ORDER Order Form
README This readme
SAMPLE.TXT Sample HyperHelper source file
The browser HH has been pre-configured to load the manual
MAN.HTX. All you need to do to browse the manual is type:
HH
from the command-line. To see the browser command-line
options, use:
HH /h
To print out the manual to your printer, use
HP MAN >prn
*********************************************
*** IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING! ***
*********************************************
IF THE BROWSER LOCKS UP ON YOU, read below for
some possible reasons:
I. Your computer is non-standard in some way in the upper
memory area (between 640K-1MB), and causes HyperHelper's
automatic scan of this area to lock up.
Solution: Try using the -xh option, which will prevent HyperHelper
from scanning the upper memory area. If you use this option,
then you may NOT load HyperHelper into the upper memory area
using the DOS loadhigh command.
II. If you are using QEMM 6.0 or NetWare, and use the -lim option,
the browser may lock up. Try using the new -limc option,
(which moves code but not data, see V3.03a notes), which has
been known to clear up problems with QEMM and NetWare.
III. Your mouse driver is old, or is not a true Microsoft
compatible driver.
Solution: Try using the -mo- option which disables the use of
the mouse in the browser. (Notice the dash before AND after "mo".)
If this clears up the problem, then either use this option all the
time, or try to update to the latest mouse driver you can.
MOUSE DRIVERS:
If you have a Logitech mouse with an old driver (pre-V5.0),
the mouse action will not work properly in HyperHelper.
Update to V5.0 or higher of the driver to correct the problem.
Also, the browser will lock up if you are using a TrueMouse
driver, (purportedly supplied by NorthGate.) Even though this
driver is supposed to be 100% Microsoft compatible, it
apparently isn't! The same symptoms occur with some Mouse System
mouse drivers.
Try to use the latest mouse driver you can, and if at all
possible, use a true Microsoft mouse driver.
UPDATE HISTORY: CHANGES TO HH SINCE THE MANUAL WAS PRINTED
===========================================================
V3.04:
Fixed card export to file function. Fixed the critical
error handler. Fixed some bugs in hhcfg.exe. Fixed the
TSR browser so that it properly resets to "-r" popup
mode at the end of each popup.
V3.03d:
Fixed the Home/End key action on card pick lists.
V3.03c:
Fixed a problem with UNDO working incorrectly when a
file link has been executed, and the current directory
has changed.
V3.03b:
Fixed a problem which prevented the context-sensitive
screen scan to work properly with topics that contain
extended ASCII characters, such as é and â.
V3.03a:
Added a -limc option to the browsers. This tells HH to
load in lim (expanded memory) as with the -lim option,
but to only store code there, not data. (The data stays
down in lower memory.) The -limc option clears up problems
when using HH with QEMM 6.0 and/or NetWare, and/or OS/2.
V3.03:
DESIGN CHANGE: Changed the topic matching algorithm for
context-sensitive popups so that the *largest* topic
possible is returned, rather than the smallest. For
instance, given the two topics "test" and "test result",
in the following scenario,"test result" is returned for
V3.03, whereas in prior versions, "test" was returned:
"The test results were turned in on Monday".
^cursor here
V3.02a:
Fixed problems with $FILE and $EXEC link.
V3.02:
Fixed some problems with the newly added -xh option.
Fixed a bug that prevented a $FILE link that is preceded
by a normal card link on the same line from working. The
same problem occurred and has been fixed for $EXEC links
as well.
The TSR code has been made more robust.
V3.01a:
Fixed #default card link last command to work properly inside
cards.
Fixed a problem where you couldn't use a '!' character in
a card caption, even if the link marker was changed to some
other character.
Also, added the -xh browser option to alleviate the browser
locking up immediately on some machines. (See below.)
V3.01:
Using a hotkey and using a software interrupt to popup the
browser are now mutually exclusive. When using the -i browser
option, the hotkey is automatically disabled. Allowing both
to work at the same time caused incorrect operation.
Fixed a bug in hhcfg.exe that sometimes prevented you from
setting colors via the #attributes command.
V3.0e:
Fixes bug in V3.0d that crept in: print function always said
"printer not ready".
V3.0d:
Fixes HH sometimes locking up in screen modes larger than 80x25,
and fixes HH sometimes locking up when zooming using the mouse.
V3.0c:
This version fixes further the Tandy computer problem. Specifically,
hhcfg should now work properly on Tandy's. Also, a bug in the printer
routine was fixed.
ONE DESIGN CHANGE: Upon exiting the browser, HyperHelper returns an
exit code equal to the number of the card at the time of exiting.
Earlier versions returned a 0. As with earlier versions, you can
still force an exit code of your own choosing via the $QUIT link.
V3.0b:
This version fixes some miscellaneous bugs in the first release.
These fixes have to do with getting HH to work properly on Tandy
computers, and getting the compiler to gracefully handle missing
link markers in certain situations and a problem of having menus
too long.
Also, the new browsers will now work properly in TSR mode
in conjunction with MSDOS 5.0 EDIT, and QBASIC.
V3.0:
Initial Version 3 release
