I have only 'tinkered' with SuperCard but a few things leap to mind.... it is
not as friendly as HyperCard in that most development occurs in SuperEdit, and
then the projects are run under SuperCard, unless one decides to turn the
project into a standalone, in which case even a one window project is 350K, it
(SuperCard) is definitely not recommended for use on a one-meg machine... if
one runs out of memory SuperCard will 'lose' parts of itself and its
environment, essentially it will alert you that it can not do something and
then proceed past the point that it alerted you about, really to complex for
me to explain... I don't like it, I can do color windows in HyperCard, I can
open multiple windows in HyperCard, and I can resize HyperCard's native window
to suit me... and all this on a one meg machine with narry a complaint from
HyperCard...  I'll stick with HyperCard.
