Or did they force you to buy a whole new package? .... It's been a while-- seems like you could get updates within major version number releases of HyperStudio. The last Hyperstudio appears to be v3.1j. The last commercial release of Appleworks is v5.1. I think the 5.1 upgrade was free to 5.0 owners. The manual for v5 seems to be the one that came with v4.0 plus a small v5 "Delta Manual" manual. You can download HyperStudio from ACN sites. On ACN Tarnover, the URL is ftp://tarnover.dyndns.org/cabi/HyperStudio/ . Appleworks 5 disks are on Asimov at ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/utility/word_processing/ For a listing of software sources on the net see ... http://home.swbell.net/rubywand/A2FAQs4MAJORSITES.html Rubywand
