Due to the interest expressed recently on the net, I am posting the following product announcement: HyperWindows (tm) from Tulip Software HyperWindows is a set of XCMDs that adds color graphics windows to your HyperCard stack. HyperWindows includes four new commands, which enable scripts to create and control new windows in front of HyperCard. Hypercard remains active, and continues to run normally behind the windows. Each window's contents can be drawn from a PICT resource in the stack, or from a separate PICT file. A command is provided to paste a picture from the clipboard into your stack. A PICT file can be created by most drawing programs. A script can control the location and size of a new window, and can close it at any time. The user can also drag, size, scroll, and close the windows if permitted by the script. Windows may overlap in any way, and when previously obscured portions are exposed, they are redrawn. Full color and multiple displays are supported on the Macintosh II, including optional palette control for scanned or painted images. Yet compatibility is maintained with the Macintosh Plus and SE. HyperWindows will be available from APDA, beginning with the October catalog. The suggested retail price is $59.00. Site licenses and commercial distribution licenses require an additional fee. Custom modification and consulting services are available. (HyperWindows is a trademark of Tulip Software. HyperCard is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc.) DISCLAIMER: This announcement does not represent an endorsement of the product by my employer. I have a personal financial interest in the product. -- ===================================================================== Ed Anson, Calcomp Display Products Division, Hudson NH 03051 (603) 885-8712, anson@elrond.CalComp.COM
