> Boston, Massachusetts (August 8, 1990) ? Concentrix Technology, Inc.
> announced the release of HyperPort, a new HyperCard text transfer
> utility. Designed by HyperCard pioneer Danny Goodman, HyperPort
> eliminates the need of writing HyperTalk scripts to transfer
> information between any text file and any HyperCard stack. HyperPort
> allows users to combine multiple database fields into single
> HyperCard fields or to export sections of single HyperCard fields
> into multiple database fields.
>
> "I know I'm not alone," Goodman said, "in that I've written many
> import or export scripts for people who wanted to transfer an
> existing database to HyperCard or vice versa. The myriad of
> possibilities made writing a universal script impossible. Instead, I
> designed HyperPort to analyze the data and let it essentially write
> the scripts for making the transfer." In the process, the user works
> solely with real, sample data from a text file or HyperCard stack.
> Clicking and dragging information objects replaces HyperTalk
> programming.
>
> HyperPort transfers information along the following paths:
>
> HyperCard stacks ? Tab-delimited database files
>  HyperCard stacks ? Comma-delimited database files
>  HyperCard stacks ? Word processing text files
>  HyperCard stacks ? Microsoft Word mail merge files
>  HyperCard stack ? Text file ? HyperCard stack
>
> Transfers are not limited to field-by-field database files. Longer
> word processing text, such as that used in training material or long
> documents, may be transferred into HyperCard as big blocks. All the
> user must do is insert a unique character to serve as a divider
> between chunks of text to transfer to each card.
>
> Additionally, HyperPort will even build a stack from scratch around
> data imported from a text file. Once the data is transferred, the
> user may modify the stack's field structure and graphic display
> using HyperCard's internal authoring tools.
