2352.0. "Amiga HyperText" by LEDS::ACCIARDI () Sat Mar 11 1989 07:49

    
    Poor Person Software has released a demo version of their Amiga
    HyperText application, called Thinker.  I've uploaded the demo to
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]THINKER.ARC.
    
    The file is in 128 byte format (use XMODEM).
    
    What good is hypertext?  I'm not sure, since I have little experience
    with Hypercard on the MAC.  After all the initial commotion, many
    people in the MAC notes are treating it as a clever toy; others
    seem to be doing great things with it.  You be the judge.
    
    The demo feels fast and solid, but I believe it will be frustrating
    without a hard drive.

    It's in NORSE""::AMIGA:[DEMOS]
    
    Whilst looking in the UPLOAD area, there were other files in there
    called :-
    
    BLK.SH
    BLK.ZOO
    DMAKE.ZOO
    DNET_V2_0_BETA.ZOO
    EVAL.ZOO
    FLYER.PS
    IFFTOPS.SH
    MAN20.SH
    P2.SH
    ZC.SH
    ZC.ZOO
    
    Anyone claim them? I'd like to know what they are so I can put them
    in the correct area? What format is '.SH'?

    I put most of those other files there.  They are files from Usenet and
    are described in 2337.2 and 2337.5.  Let me know if you object to my
    placing these files there.
    
    A file with a .SH extension is a shar file.  It is just a bunch of text
    files appended together with information added to make breaking them up
    into separate files easier.  There are several shar un-archivers in
    various places, or they can also be unpacked by hand with an editor
    (this is cumbersome, though).

In no way, shape, or form do I object to anyone putting files in the
    AMIGA:[UPLOAD] are on NORSE. All I ask is to be told, by ALL-IN-1
    or VAXmail what the files are so that 
    
    1/ I know what they are (as they might supercede other files)
    
    2/ So I can put them in the right place (e.g. demos, utilitites,
    etc)
    
    I am pleased to accept any software you may want to offer, and am
    glad that you are using the facility that I've provided. Don't think
    that I was slapping your wrist - I wasn't.
