              Where do I get a FREE demo version of Joy?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Joy is fitted with a copy-protection key system. It is designed to prevent
unauthorized use of the software. To use all features of Joy you need to obtain
a key. 


          FREE KEY WITHIN MINUTES!

You can get a free key, and you can get it immediately. Why not do it now? 

Simply email our automated server at joykey-request@aaa-plus.com with a blank
message. You don't need to supply your credit card or any details. 

The key will be valid for about three weeks. 


          THE SOFTWARE RUNS AS IS!

However, Joy can work straight away, without a key. So if you don't want to 
request an evaluation key, you can still test the software. 

Deinstalling the software is easy. It's all covered in the installation 
instructions.

                 Joy 2.0 - Prototype, Develop and Deploy!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

All you want from one programming tool.€ Confused about Yellow Box? Want to get 
started programming quickly?€ Or do you know Yellow Box and want to write 
powerful applications; yet find compiling a hassle?€ Take a look at what 
Joy€2.0 has to offer. 

Joy allows you to learn about the Yellow Box framework. Inspect. Interact. See 
objects and classes on screen, and see what methods they provide. Double click 
an object, double click a method, hit return, and it's executed! 

Capture these commands as a script and form new methods! Develop sophisticated 
applications. Quickly and exploratively. Customize existing software. 

No new language to learn. No plethora of discordant scripting languages. Just 
one harmonious solution. Joy€2.0. 

                               ooo OOOOO ooo

Apple development tools are extremely powerful. So powerful, in fact, that, by 
taking the concept one step further, we turned our dream into reality: a rapid 
application development environment, so powerful, it makes professional 
software development a truly enjoyable experience. 

We have used this technology, internally, on large development projects for 
many years. Then we decided to make the core of it a shrinkwrap product - guess 
why we called it Joy! 

Look at what you can do with Joy 2.0:

* Learn about the Yellow Box framework. Inspect its classes and objects. Look
  at what methods are provided, and what instance variables there are.
* Take a look at what's going on inside an application. Even one for which you
  don't have the source.
* Interact with objects in an application. Double click on an object, double
  click on a method, hit return and it's executed!
* Try out commands, then capture them in a method. Quickly and easily build up
  new functionality in your program.
* Deploy to Windows. Save Joy projects directly as executable applications.
  Select which Yellow Box platforms to save it for. Size of executable: a mere
  41k per platform!
* Joy 2.0 is not YASL (Yet Another Scripting Language). The language is based
  on JavaScript, and has been designed to be cut-and-paste compatible with C,
  Objective-C, and Java. Prototype methods in Joy, then compile (if necessary)
  for speed.
