About HyperNewt
========================================================================= 
HyperNewt is a revolutionary new way to create and organize data on your
Newton. Its intuitive interface, flexible data management controls, and
powerful linking capabilities make HyperNewt your Newton's new window to
information.

********************!!! IMPORTANT !!!********************

A number of users have had problems installing HyperNewt
2.5 from HyperNewt 2.1. The following is a checklist of
considerations to note when installing HyperNewt.

1) Is HyperNewt stored internally? If not, then you cannot
have HyperNewt replace the Notepad app at startup.

2) Is SAI's SuperNotepad installed and have you set HyperNewt
to replace the Notepad? HyperNewt is incompatible with
SNP if and only if you have chosen to replace the
Notepad with HyperNewt.

3) If you have chosen to replace the Notepad app with
HyperNewt, *DO NOT* make HyperNewt your backdrop application.
Opening HyperNewt will cause an alert to appear asking you to
use the Notepad app instead.

If you are still having problems, email us at support@tow.com.
When the problems are all solved, we'll release the official
2.51 release of HyperNewt. Thanks!
