Hi All,
Rather than using snail mail or the telephone you can get information about
Bristol's HyperHelper by emailing info -at- bristol -dot- com -dot- There is also a demo
available (for quite a number of platforms) via anonymous ftp. You can
obtain it by:
1) "ftp" to bristol.com (log in as "ftp", password "your_full_email_address")
2) cd to demo/Hyper (i think, or demo/Something_beginning_with_H)
3) set file transfer to binary ("bin")
4) "get" the appropriate demo for your platform
5) "uncompress" the *.tar.Z file (best if you are in a /tmp directory)
6) extract the tar file by typing "tar xvf <fiename.tar>"
I am in no way connected to Bristol, but simply heard all the chatter about
HyperHelper and found this information, so thought i would share it.
Cheers,
Doug
