ABSTRACT

HyperQual is a program for the Macintosh. Its design is quite unlike the design of the MS-DOS text analysis programs. Some of the main differences are:

Data can be entered directly into HyperQual; they are imported from a word processor only if they had been created there previously.

HyperQual provides different modes for entering structured and unstructured data, and structured data can be sorted according to their natural structure.

Segmenting is done on the screen (although a paper printout of the data can be segmented in preparation for screen work), and segments do not have to be coded at the time they are defined. They can be assembled in a secondary document without codes.

The basic coding and assembling can be accomplished in one operation in HyperQual (while in the MS-DOS programs codes are attached to text segments in one step and then remain available for the second step of searching/assembling.)
