	[notes about unpacking Hyper C deleted.]

    First off, I you had followed the discussion of Hyper C over the past month
you would have know that this shareware version of Hyper C being passed around
is implemented using a proprietary OS called CDOS v1.3.

    Second, there are complaints about using Hyper C on a //gs. Well, Hyper C
is copyrighted 1985. There are possiblities that it will not run on an //gs.

    Third, After having Shrinkit v0.95 spin my 5.25" drive fruitlessly, I 
followed a posting stating that it should be unshrunk from one 5.25" drive to
a second. I did that and it worked. (This is on an Apple //c (first release 
motherboard with 3.5 rom upgrade))  Will this fix your problem, I don't know,
but I doubt it.

   Finally, since the WSM Group has gone out of business (or atleast appears
that way), It would be nice to find the authors of Hyper C and persuade them to
release the ProDOS and DOS 3.3 versions of Hyper C to the freeware domain.  Can
they be found, or is that just wishful thinking.
