Abstract of INFO-MAC archived encoded Mac binary file 'comm/atlk/hyper-x-change.hqx' Uploaded 08/26/1996 34622 bytes From: (Jonathan Cooper) agjonath@ozemail.com.au Subject: HyperXchange HyperXchange is a 76K HyperCard stack that gives you access to other Macs on a local area network, using Apple Events and HyperCard (version 2.1 or higher). It can be used to get information, send commands and send and exchange messages. FEATURES: * Commands/Requests: A number of pre-set commands and requests are available from the Command and Request menus, or you can write your own in HyperTalk and send them. * Instant Connection Buttons: Once a connection has been made to a remote Mac, this connection can be saved as a button. Thereafter, just clicking on this button will re-establish the connection. * Auto-Launch: When you attempt to make a connection to another Mac, HyperXchange first determines whether or not HyperCard is running. If not, it can actually link to the remote Mac's Finder (Systems 7.0 - 7.1, thanks to the XCMD "FinderEvents") to launch HyperCard for you. * Broadcast Messages: A single message can be sent to a number of Macs in quick succession. Options are: "Only if..." (only send to a recipient if a certain condition is met), "Beep" and "Switch to HyperCard". * Chat: Based loosely on the "Conversing" card of Apple's Apple Event Primer Stack. * On-line Help Jonathan Cooper Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney Australia
