Here is a description of what came with the full HyperCard 1.0
package. I got HyperCard 1.1 via the System 6.0 Golden Master CD-ROM.
It seems that 1.1 includes the same manuals as 1.0, with a stack on
one of the disks describing the changes.
Included in the full package:
Six disks:
"Installer and Tour"
"Program"
"Help"
"HyperTalk Help"
"Stacks 1"
"Stacks 2"
Three manuals:
"Getting Started with HyperCard IIgs"
"HyperCard IIgs Reference"
"HyperTalk Beginner's Guide"
The stacks included in the package:
Tour
Home
Help - General HyperCard help
HyperTalkHelp - Lots of useful information in here
Birds - Sample data stack, with digitized birdcall sounds
and some pictures of birds
StoryBoard - Sample stack created using clip-art by a child
PicturePuzzler - Re-create a scrambled tile picture (swapping tiles,
not sliding)
IconEditor - Edits icons (editing icons from other stacks is a
bit tricky, but creating ones from scratch is fine
ArtIdeas - Some clip-art
Calendar - Appointment calendar. Very slow.
ScriptersTools - Lots of really useful goodies
ButtonIdeas - Some clip-buttons and small clip-art
Addresses - Name/address/phone number list
WhatsNew - describes HyperCard IIgs 1.1. improvements
To run HyperCard IIgs comfortably, you need at least 2 megabytes of
RAM and a hard disk.
You can also buy the "HyperCard IIgs Script Language Guide: The
HyperTalk Language" as a separate product from Resource Central.
Resource Central have a bi-monthly disk-based HyperCard IIgs
publication, called "Script-Central". This has to be seen to be
believed. It is an extremely good example of a stack-based magazine.
Each issue includes several PD/Freeware/Shareware stacks, plus
letters, hints and tips, utility stacks, tutorials, rumours, and lots
of easter eggs.
