Hyped is written entirely in HyperTalk for the highest compatibility with any implementation of HyperCard, except for a small part of it, called a Lightbox, which makes all the calls for managing files, folders, and disks. This way, no matter what form of HyperCard you are using, it will still work, since the Lightbox makes all the calls and is easy to replace with another. Hyped includes several Lightboxes; one uses AppleScript and makes calls to the Finder, one makes calls to CreySoft 2000's Icebox Kernel, one uses Rinaldi XCMDs, one uses Core Collection XCMDs, and the last one is a Rinaldi/AppleScript hybrid. Lightboxes can also be written in other OSA languages or XCMDs. Hyped is now at version 2.0.1. It is faster with its Rinaldi/AppleScript hybrid Lightbox and more convenient with redesigned icons, multiple Hyped windows, icon-only view, and a QuickMenu. HyperWrite and the GUI Builder are now ready to be run (although still no HyperPaint as of yet). Version 2.0.1 includes various bug fixes and cosmetic changes. Future plans include Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, etc. control panels, contextual menus, other Hyper* applications... hold on there! (C) 2001 Kreative Software, a division of Kreative Korporation.

As an act of desparation I came across a mac serial cable which had a standard 25 pin fitting at the other end. All the current windows modems are 9 pin fitting but you usually get with them a joint cable which has the 25 pin attached also. So I attach my serial cable to my mac and the win modem cable to the other end. After some messing about with ppp (best to use free ppp), guess what it worked (I can connect at 45k). The modem I used was a spare Diamond multimedia external for my winpc, no need to spend nearly ú100 (ú50 - 2nd hand), just get yourself a good well known (here and in US) windows external serial port modem, such as US Robotics or Diamond as I have stated. It's probably best to get a K56 flex compatible as it'll probably be supported for the mac. The diamond does support the mac and has scripts on it's web site but I didn't need to load any drivers for it at all. However, I must add that I loaded something called gearbox, which has a list of the modems and advised me to use K56 Flex. If you dont use Gearbox (came with my NTL free isp disc), then make sure your port speed is set to max speed 115700 or above. I hope this has been of help.

Attachments (like the digest) which you have not moved out of your attachments folder by hand will be moved to the Finder trash when you delete the message. 2. Empty trash. That will remove the alias from the mailbox list. pr -- Pete Resnick QUALCOMM Incorporated -------------------------------- --Info-Mac-Digest-- End of Info-Mac Digest ******************************
