Well, right from the horse's mouth but....
I got the Apple HC2.0 package via a standing order when buying my SE in a pre
Oct 15 sale. It includes a Home stack---not crippled; but only one---help
stacks, power and example stacks. Also 4 manuals: the 35p pamphlet, a user
guide, a ref manual to HC2.0 browsing and authoring and an intro to scripting;
no Adisson-Wesley stuff though. This seems like a cross between the new bundled
version and the Claris one, Claris being the dominant.

In other words what exactly did I get?
On a separate track: does all this entitle me to the free Claris upgrade to
2.0v2?
