Hi, Steve, since you seem to be the chatty one on the team these days \; >) I thought I'd throw my big question at you. I've been wondering if I should run out and by 2.0, the Book (well, walk maybe. It'll take me awhile to raise the cash anyway), or wait for a second edition so they can catch up with changes that were made between the time the book went to press and 2.0 is actually released. Any sense of what all went on in that lag time?

The Book (tm) has an appendix containing last-minute changes to HyperTalk 2.0. From what I hear, it's pretty complete; there may have been a few more additions, but I wouldn't delay getting The Book for some indeterminate time (who knows when or it they'll do a second addition?) because it may not contain a function or two. That's what release note stacks are for, after all.... -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |
