Does anyone have information regarding availability of 'Hyper-C'. I have seen one or two messages regarding the package on 'infoapple', but don't have a clue as to what it is, where it is, etc... John Withers <johnw@pro-carolina> /* Insert usual disclaimers here */

The Hyper-C that is available runs under it's own operating system, and is available from apple anonymous ftp locations. I would hazard a guess, though, that you can't ftp on a proline site, someone will have to mail you a copy (I'd do it, but I have no clue how to mail to a proline site, maybe I shoulda been paying attention to all those messages...) There is also a Prodos version of Hyper-C. The problem: It's copyrighted (i.e. not shareware like the other version) and the company that made it has gone bankrupt. There was talk here a while ago about possibly finding the authors (or whoever owns the copywrite) and asking them to release it into the public domain. This seems to have died down since the enthusiam over hyper c has wained. Ok, since it is doubtful that Hyper-C is going to be freeware soon, does anybody want to offer to sell me their copy of the Prodos version? If you ain't usinging it, you could at least make back a few (very few, I'm a poor student, you understand) dollars. WARNING!! the opinions expressed above can be HAZARDOUS or FATAL if swallowed!

Hyper C (Shareware version, (what DOES shareware become when the authors/publ are no longer around\)) is available from a variety of sources.. you'll probabl 50 copies of it from various people by the end of the week :-) If you DON'T get at least 50 copies, send me mail and I'll send you the diffe BTW-> To the person/persons who was/were trying to find out the status of the W Group, any luck yet\ Are we safe to assume that it HAS become PD after making "reasonable" attempt to find out the status of the company\ If so, we can get somebody who has the ProDOS version of Hyper C to post it for us\ and also mail a copy for local distribution and entering into our archives\ Chris Software Design Engineer, NovAtel Communications Ltd. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- The opinions expressed herein are !

Yes.. I realize that, and I assure you that it WILL be posted this weekend
The reason for the delay was that I blew the IWM (disk) controller chip
in my //c and had no way to do anything with my apple stuff... I just got
it back today so I'll be able to send Hyper.C side off this weekend.
