WinPlus was a cross platform clone of the Hypercard application that enables users to run HyperCard stacks on Apple Macintosh , Microsoft Windows and OS 2 Presentation Manager . Originally the application was developed by Format Software GmbH Cologne, Germany to overcome deficits of Hypercard , like lack of color support, fixed card size etc.. With the wider acceptance of other graphic user interfaces like Presentation Manager OS 2 and Windows the development was extended to cover the cross platform aspect. The software was initially distributed as PLUS in 1989. Later it was distributed by Spinnaker Software and marketed as Spinnaker PLUS and WinPlus . Based on the same source code Oracle Corporation Oracle developed OracleCard, also known as Oracle Media Objects . Spinnaker later sold the application to ObjectPlus Corp., marketing it as ObjectPlus . External links Category Hypertext Category Hypercard products compu soft stub ... more details
HyperStudio is a HyperCard clone, which appeared only a few years after the release of HyperCard, in 1988. It can be described as a multimedia authoring tool, and it provides relatively simple methods for combining varied media. It has been available for purchase off and on over the years, and is now being marketed as version 5 , which is aimed mostly at an educational market.

Unreferenced date January 2009 AppWare was a rapid application development system for Microsoft Windows and the Mac OS based on a simple graphical programming language . The product was originally known as Serius Developer before Novell purchased it in 1993 during Ray Noorda s period of intense empire building . For some time it was positioned as one of the three pillars of Novell s long term strategy, the others being NetWare and UnixWare , but the product was quickly killed off when Noorda was forced out of Novell in 1994. It was sold off to a small group of its original developers in 1995, who reformed as Network Multimedia and sold AppWare under the unfortunate name Micro Brew for a short time before simply disappearing. Applications in AppWare were constructed by dropping icons representing pre rolled objects onto a worksheet, and then connecting them together to represent message flow between them. Some of the objects represented basic logic statements, while others represented GUI widgets such as text editors. The overall logic for any particular object, say a text editor in a window, was constructed as a series of chains of these object connections, fired up in response to an event. At a high level the system is similar in concept to HyperCard or Visual BASIC , in that the program s logic is strongly associated with the object that sends some initial event. AppWare built true double clickable applications that ran natively on either Windows or the Mac. Unlike most systems of the sort, the applications did not end up looking generic, and generally behaved as first class citizens of the host system. However the applications were also similar to HyperCard and VB in that they generally did not support multi window operation or the creation of new documents. AppWare applications consisted of a fixed number of forms and windows, a side effect of its lack of a code NEW code type operator for creating new objects at runtime.

Revolution is a software development environment multimedia authoring software in the tradition of HyperCard and is based on the MetaCard engine. Its primary focus is on providing a relatively accessible development tool set and scripting language that enable the creation of software programs that run across multiple platforms with little or no code modificaitons. The Integrated development environment Integrated Development Environment IDE included with Revolution is built partly on the models created by Bill Atkinson and the original HyperCard team at Apple Inc. Apple and subsequently followed by many other software development products, such as Microsoft s Visual Basic . Revolution includes an English language like scripting language called Transcript programming language Transcript , a full programming language superset of the HyperCard s scripting language, HyperTalk . The higher grade versions see Versions , below , allow applications to be compiled to run on more than one platform, including Macintosh Classic or Mac OS 9 , and Mac OS X , Microsoft Windows Windows and Unix like systems including Linux . It can also import HyperCard stacks, which require little or no modification unless they use external functions, which generally do not work in Revolution. Revolution is designed to be an environment where non programmers feel at ease and programmers feel not too uncomfortable after getting used to non traditional programming syntax . Like any programming language or development environment, opinions as to the degree to which those aims have been achieved vary greatly. Versions Before Revolution 2, the Starter Kit version was available. This was freeware and imposed restrictions on the user, such as not allowing scripts longer than ten lines to be compiled. However, this has since been discontinued and is no longer available for download. The Dreamcard version is intended ... around is not necessarily true.

The term XTensions is a trademark of Quark, Inc. www.quark.com and describes a Plug in computing plugin for QuarkXPress , a popular page layout program . An XTensions module is a little program that only runs inside QuarkXPress and enhances existing functionality or adds new functionality to the main program. For example, XTensions can add new color models or full featured mathematical equation editor, allow this plugin to load additional file formats up to complex database publishing solutions that allow text on a layout to be pulled from a database and automatically create pages based on templates . QuarkXPress 1.0, which was first released in 1987, was&mdash beside HyperCard &mdash probably the first application ever to offer such an interface or application programming interface API for plug ins. As the interface is available to third party developers, there are hundreds of XTensions available, both from commercial developers as well as open source XTensions.

For the music festival SOUNDEDIT Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Image SoundEdit icon.gif frame right SoundEdit icon SoundEdit was the first popular GUI based audio editor for digitized audio. It was not only one of the first important audio applications for Macintosh, but one of the first significant audio applications for personal computers in general. SoundEdit was one of three audio applications created during a sabbatical by Steve Capps during 1986. The Macintosh had no built in sound input, so the MacRecorder audio digitizer was invented for this purpose in 1985 by Michael Lamoureux, a mathematics student at the University of California, Berkeley. The MacRecorder hardware and software was publicly released through the Berkeley Macintosh Users Group as a kit in late 1985. SoundEdit first shipped in January 1988, as part of a hardware product called MacRecorder Sound System, by a company called Farallon Computing which eventually became Netopia . One of the major drivers for SoundEdit was Apple s HyperCard . With MacRecorder Sound System, stack makers could finally create alternatives to HyperCard s two built in sounds. The other multimedia programs of the time, Adobe Director Director and Adobe Authorware Authorware also adopted it right away. SoundEdit was later bought by Macromind Paracomp, which became Macromedia now Adobe Systems . Macromedia rebranded the program as SoundEdit 16 and expanded its capabilities to support CD quality audio 16 bit and added Quicktime soundtrack editing and an audio plug in architecture. A free plug in was included to convert sound files into .SWA format, an early form of mp3 file. These SWA files could be streamed to web viewers using by the free web audio player downloadable from Macromedia or by creating a custom interactive Adobe Shockwave Shockwave experience embedded into a web page. Adobe Shockwave Shockwave content is created by using the Adobe Director Director multimedia authoring program. Macromedia disc ... more details
