         Reports 2.0 is a complete rewrite to Reports 1.2.X. It is now sold
directly by Nine to Five Software and is no longer handled by Activision.
It includes HyperCard 2.0v2, a Home Stack and some example stacks and reports.
It also includes "MasterView" which is a new product that allows you create
simple row and column displays of the information in your stacks. MasterView
also allows you to edit your HyperCard fields directly in MasterView and then
optionally save the changes back to HyperCard, MasterView or both.
Reports 2.0 and MasterView are both fully compatible with HyperCard 1.2.X
and HyperCard 2.0

        Reports 2.0 & MasterView now run directly on top of HyperCard instead of
being independent applications. This makes the overall response times much
quicker and allows for more interaction with HyperCard. The entire system 
installs only 5K of external commands into HyperCard! 

        The primary interface to Reports 2.0 is now handled through a single
floating palette, but all of the controls available on the palette are
accessible through HyperTalk scripts, so the interface can be completely
customized. (No more "Report Card"!)

Other new features include:
        Multiple break sections
        Support for color printing
        Increased search and sort speeds 
                (about 100 cards/sec. on Mac II's or better)
        Data format options (Dollar signs, Percent signs, etc.)
        New script handlers
        Ability to print from more that one background
        
        Reports 2.0 is only available through Nine to Five Software at this
point. If you would like more info, send E-Mail to any of the addresses below
