ALGEBRA AS A 2ND LANGUAGE Franklin A. Rodgers © 1996 This stack was developed using HyperCard 2.3.5 on a Power Macintosh 7200. There is a total of 231 colored cards in the stack. Each card measures 640x480 which means any Macintosh no older than the Mac II should be able to display the cards unclipped. HyperCard is a registered trademark of the Claris Corporation and Power Macintosh is a trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. If you have neither HyperCard or HyperCard Player you may wish to download a shareware player called hyper-stack-player from one of the following Internet sources: for systems with 680x0 CPUs: ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/app/hyper-stack-player-23v2.hqx for Power Macs: ftp://sumex-aim.stanford.edu/info-mac/app/hyper-stack-player-23v2-pcc.hqx Shareware Policy Shareware is software which is made available to potential users at a price only slightly above the cost of the diskettes on which it is distributed.
