- I just finished looking at the demo of HyperLook (was HyperNeWS, I
- think). I've been
- using HyperCard and SuperCard for years, but I would dump them in a
- minute for
- this. If SuperCard could implement all of these features (are you
- listening Bill?)
- it would become what HyperCard always hoped (and claimed) to be; the
- development
- environment for the rest of us.
-
- Demos are available from:
- ftp.uu.net (137.39.1.9) graphics/NeWS/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
- turing.com (192.133.90.28 -- SLOW link) pub/HyperLook1.5-runtime.tar.Z
- uesama.tjp.washington.edu (128.95.202.40)
- pub/Sun_Software/HyperLook/<all files>
-
- The last site includes a demo of SimCity written in HyperLook. VERY
- impressive!
- (also very large).
