I just bought a copy of the Upgrade package (list $49). Below is a detail inventory of its contents. Can some kind soul out there post an equivalently detailed inventory for the Development package, we might between us reduce the confusion about what is in which package. Because, in spite of the efforts by various Apple folks out there, confusion still abounds. Example: the people at MIT's MicroComputer Center could not tell me the differences between the two packages except that the Development package has 5 manuals (about what, they could not say).

This sounds like something > a whole lot of us would like to know about!!! According to the card included in the development kit, "Inside HyperCard" is a "new monthly journal from the Cobb Group [that is] a goldmine of tips, tricks, and techniques you can use to make your stacks better. Each 16-page issue will bring you easy-to-read articles with step-by-step directions and lots of illustrations." I haven't received my free copy yet so I don't know if it's really any good. The address given is: Inside HyperCard The Cobb Group PO Box 35160 Louisville, KY 40232-9719 Susan Tenney Dartmouth College Computing Services
