It is now at version 2.0. Mine's in the mail. They are also , as bad as my memory is, I believe, making a UNIX version. I'm going to an OS/2 media showcase in Edmonton on Tuesday the 27th and they are going to be there so I should get some up to date info. I have not had the fortune to use hypercard, just saw a few demos by salespeople and collegues, and I am interested in finding out what the differences are as I am putting the final touches on an application for funding for an educational development project and I think that this could help clarify some sections of the application. BTW, I have played with GUIDE a little and have been very pleased except that I personally do not like Windows all that much and although I use a mouse quite a bit in situations where a mouse is useful I am also not a big fan of having to use the mouse all the time. In other words, I am not totally pleased with either the current DOS environment that I use nor that offered by either the MAC or the PC with Windows. OF, course all those names above have little (c) or (tm) or (r) behind them when I am referring to companies or particular software. Kevin
