The Hyper-C that is available runs under it's own operating system, and is available from apple anonymous ftp locations. I would hazard a guess, though, that you can't ftp on a proline site, someone will have to mail you a copy (I'd do it, but I have no clue how to mail to a proline site, maybe I shoulda been paying attention to all those messages...) There is also a Prodos version of Hyper-C. The problem: It's copyrighted (i.e. not shareware like the other version) and the company that made it has gone bankrupt. There was talk here a while ago about possibly finding the authors (or whoever owns the copywrite) and asking them to release it into the public domain. This seems to have died down since the enthusiam over hyper c has wained. Ok, since it is doubtful that Hyper-C is going to be freeware soon, does anybody want to offer to sell me their copy of the Prodos version? If you ain't usinging it, you could at least make back a few (very few, I'm a poor student, you understand) dollars. WARNING!! the opinions expressed above can be HAZARDOUS or FATAL if swallowed!
