News presents H Y P E R Q U A R T E R L Y Beginning in April we will begin shipping a new disk-based subscription, with new issues appearing every three months. Each issue (two disks) will contain innovative new stacks and scripts, XCMDs and XFCNs, icons, art, news and tutorials. HyperCard IIGS, which is part of the Apple IIGS System Software, is an invaluable resource for Apple IIGS owners. But many folks don't know how useful and fun it can be. Sign up for Hyper Quarterly and you'll find out. In addition to the talents of Hangtime and Gareth Jones, we will be joined by Josh Calvin, Brian Gillespie and Ryan Suenaga in presenting stacks and info for your use and pleasure. Other IIGS HyperCard users are welcome to submit stacks for publication (yes, we'll pay!). The first issue is shaping up now and includes the following stacks: A.La.Carte by Hangtime, An innovative stack for rapidly creating custom menus for stacks. Type in the menu names, assign command key equivalents and menu item actions and install. TZ.Rolodex by Hangtime, HyperCard ships with an address book, but Hangtime's effort, aside from having the polished look he is famous for, lets you keep notes, view the correct time for the individual you're currently looking at, and lets you sort the stack by name. PostScripter by Gareth Jones, Want fantastic looking graphics for your desktop publishing efforts, but stymied by a lack of good conversion tools for 320 color images. No longer! Just print a 320 image to disk as a postscript file with the LaserWriter driver, and use this stack to re-size and re-position the image anywhere on the page, then download to your PostScript laser printer with your favorite app (dlps, LaserBeam, SendPS, ProTERM). HC.Word by Steve Cavanaugh, Need to dash off a quick note while work- & Gareth Jones ing in HyperCard? This text editor stack lets you do that, but can also read and write text files, encode with HTML, let you perform fast Finds for words in any documents you have in the stack, and can GSify text by automatical- adding in the ligatures, em dashes and other "high ASCII" characters. Other stacks likely to appear include a Lynx bookmark manager, a stack with scripts and scripted buttons for copy and paste into your own projects, and more. If you don't already have HyperCard IIGS, you can of course download it from Apple's ftp site. If you don't have the ability or time to do that, you can purchase the disks from us with your subscription for $12.00 (HyperCard IIGS version 1.1 comes on 6 disks). To subscribe, send a check or money order for $35.00 ($47.00 if you are also ordering HyperCard IIGS) made out to "Apple Blossom Publishing" to Steve Cavanaugh Apple Blossom Publishing P.O.
