 I was more partial to Dan's 'The Complete Book of HyperTalk 2' and Danny's
'The Complete HyperCard 2.2 Handbook'. I think though the distinction is
that 'they were books'. I liked the supplied Docs that came with HC and the
sample stacks, but I still needed Dan and Danny's books beside me to make
things gel. I like Jeanne's work with the Rev Doc's, it's a pity that in the
upgrade that some of the Quick Guides from 2.6 were lost, but still, if she
wrote a physical book with a 'style guideline slightly different' I'd
definitely consider purchasing it - price dependent:-)

As for a third-party opportunities, get Apple to bundle Rev for free

Well I guess that's another one of those resources that Apple had for HC
that Rev doesn't. Sounds like a job for a highly motivated Marketing Whiz...
know anyone that fits that Bill;-)
