Newer HyperCard Version Available

HyperCard 1.2.1 is now available on the "ECN Public" file server within the folder called HyperCard. This version of HyperCard has several new features...here are the "majors":

• HyperCard running under MultiFinder needs Application Memory size in its "Get Info" box set to at least 750K.
• The "Text Arrows" option lets you use the arrow keys when you edit text in fields or in the Message box.
• The "Find Whole" option lets you search for a specific work or phrase anywhere in a stack.
• Stacks can be write-protected.
• HyperCard works on file servers (yea!)
• When "Auto Tab" is checked in the "Field Info" dialogue box of a non-scrolling field, pressing "Return" with the insertion point in the last line of that field moves the insertion point to the next field on that card.
• The short cuts for increasing and decreasing the amount of space between lines in a text field have been changed.

There are other new features and options, including more/new stacks, that the heavy users will just have to use to find (no biggy).
