New in HyperEngine 2.2.0. Direct Sound Card Support! HyperEngine now includes special custom drivers for the Digidesign Audiomedia II and Audiomedia III cards, plus the Korg 1212 I/O and the Lucid PCI24. If you have a supported sound card, these custom drivers eliminate the need for using special Sound Manager drivers such as the Digidesign Sound Drivers.

About This Manual

The documentation for HyperEngine has been created using the HyperText-Markup-Language, better known as HTML. This is the same standard used for Pages on the Internet World Wide Web. Since the HyperEngine manual follows the HTML spec, you may view it using any HTML compatible browser, such as Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, Microsoft Internet Explorer.

It may also be viewed using the excellent HTML Viewer By Sassafras Software, a shareware program supplied on the Arboretum CD-ROM. If you are using HTML Viewer, be sure to set your monitor to 256 Colors or less, using your Monitors Control Panel. (Note: This will also optimize HyperEngine's performance.)

If the text is too small when using the HTML Viewer, please replace the HTML Viewer Prefs file in your Systems' Preference folder with the one on the Arboretum CD. You can find it by doing a "Get Info" of your HTML Viewer alias followed by a "Find Original" command.

Manual Conventions
