You can buy HC 2.0, the complete release version sans manuals, from BMUG (Berkeley Macintosh User's Group) for $15. Which is a good deal. Of course you don't get the manuals, but you can buy many third-party HyperCard manuals for cheaper than the extra $35, that do a better job than the Apple manuals will ever dream of doing. Try to beat that, BCS!! ______________________________________________________________________________ Donald Burr, Univ of California, Berkeley | "I have a seperate mail-address INTERNET: c60a-cz@danube.Berkeley.edu | for flames and other such nega- or: 72540.3071@compuserve.COM | tive msgs; it's called /dev/null."

Our license to distribute HyperCard 2.0 runs out on that date, and it is uncertain whether or under what circumstances Apple/Claris will extend it. My best guess is that they probably won't. Also, we need to charge $3 for shipping on mail orders; it's $15 if you get it from us in person. For further info, please call BMUG at 415-549-2684 during normal West Coast business hours -- whatever they are :-).
