IncWell SuperCard is the ultimate tool for authoring custom applications, interactive multimedia projects, and web applications. With the SuperCard Player, you can view, navigate, print, or otherwise experience projects that have been created with SuperCard.
This Read Me file contains instructions for using SuperCard Player and additional product information about SuperCard.
Using The IncWell SuperCard Player
You may play projects created with SuperCard in one of two ways:
1) Drag a SuperCard project on top of the SuperCard Player icon in the Finder.
2) Double-click on SuperCard Player to launch the player. Once it is open, it will present an open file dialog box. Locate your project in the open file dialog and click ΓÇ£Open.ΓÇ¥
Since SuperCard provides developers the capability to deliver projects and applications with completely custom interfaces and functionality, please refer to any special instructions that were provided with the project that you wish to run for information on how to run it.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Because SuperCard Player does not have access to any editing tools or to the SharedFile, projects developed to run with the Player need to be able to run independently of those files, just as standalone applications do. Not all publicly available projects will run with the Player without errors; if you encounter a problem running a project with the Player, it is probably due to the fact that the project makes makes use of scripts normally found in the SharedFile.

SuperCard Player has the following minimum system requirements:
ΓÇó Macintosh with a 68020 or greater processor, including PowerPC.
ΓÇó System 7.0 or greater.
ΓÇó 4 MB of RAM or greater.

Technical Support
Since SuperCard provides an authoring environment for developers to create completely custom interfaces and functionality, please contact the project author for Technical Support information on any project that you are running; contact information should be supplied with the project.
