             HyperAct Expands Windows HELP Functionality 

PGH, PA -- Infotivity Technologies Inc. announces HyperAct(tm), 
a Windows application that allows the creation of dialog boxes,
collection of user input, edit system control files, and perform other
functions, ALL WITHOUT WRITING A SINGLE LINE of code!  "HyperAct
allows for the economic creation of HELP that actually performs the
work suggested by the topic" stated Greg Lohr, CEO of Infotivity 
Technologies. In addition, he said "HyperAct can reduce the time
needed to develop highly interactive and complex HELP or CUSTOM Windows 
controls by as much as 90%. A brief description of HyperAct follows.

No programming experience is needed to use HyperAct! The ability 
to use standard Windows Help or Notepad commands is all that's needed,
according to Lohr. All topic specific functions are performed by
using the simple, yet detailed, HyperAct options. It's also usable
by any help authoring system that creates Windows HELP. By using
HyperAct you can:

  1. Create or edit any type of system initialization or
     configuration file for Windows or MS-DOS.
  2. All editing may be done with a clear audit trail - the
     old parameter is commented out, not deleted.
  3. Display a dialog box for user input.  The dialog box
     may have up to 6 fields with custom field labels, each with
     COMPLEX VALIDATION. For example, if numbers are valid any other
     entry character produces an error message, or if only values
     5 up to 21 are valid, an entry of 3 produces an error, or if
     only D: and E: are valid then A produces an error.
     You can also have DROP DOWN value boxes appear, if desired.
  4. CALL any other executable file from within an .HLP file,
     MS-DOS or Windows EXE, COM, or BAT, with any required 
     switches.
  5. De-caches and broadcasts changes to the WIN.INI file. This
     eliminates or drastically reduces the need to RESTART
     Windows. 
  6. Allows for automatic RESTARTING when needed, under user
     control or totally automatically.
  7. One HyperAct statement can control many different parameter
     settings.
  8. Run user defined controls outside of Windows Help from Command Lines
     or Icons, independently of Windows Help.  The new HyperAct TOOLBOX
     permits desired control functions to be grouped together for
     easy selection.

HyperAct makes developing truly interactive and AUTOMATIC help
a breeze when compared to the old method of writing usable controls
hand. The implications to user support issues are enormous. Call or
