Is there any way that HyperCard 2.0 can be made available via
anonymous ftp to apple.com?
It seems that since HyperCard 2.0 is "system" software, it
could be distributed in a similar manner as System 6.0.5.
This would be much appreciated since Dealer access to
HyperCard 2.0 will probably be pretty slow.
Thanks, in advance.

I agree that making Hypercard 2.0 available for ftp from apple.com (and then subsequent sites, perhaps) is a very good idea. It's been announced that here in New Zealand, we won't get Hypercard through our dealers until September - and I can't wait that long!!!! I have a very important project for my masterate that needs the capabilities of HC 2. RSVP Apple!!

(I was so tempted to include Lawrence D'Oliviero's article...but for bandwidth's sake) Is there a mailbox at apple.com we could stuff that might influence their decision to make HC 2.0 ftpable? * (or am I wishful thinking)

Yes, please do it! I have sent my local Apple Dealer a purchase order for HC 2.0 (I want the manual), BUT I will have to wait weeks. I could get it from apple.com today; IF it was available....

I would assume that most of you follow comp.sys.mac.misc. But just in case you don't I will tell you what I saw there. (Sorry, but I didn't save the messages) Someone from Apple posted that they are currently reorganizing their network ftp-able files (I think they are putting them all on a computer designated for that sole purpose), and when they are done all the developer files, including HyperCard, will be in one directory. Yes...including HyperCard! Yeeeaaaaaaaaa! * (Now how do I get all this drool out of the keyboard?)
