	There is a program called "Thinker" out there which is reportedly a
hypertext program, it has gotten very mixed reviews on the net and I myself
have not bought it due to these reviews.
	The AMAX emulator would run hypercard but in practice until they get
a hard disk supported hypercard is of little use.  My friend who has a Mac
says you can barely run it on 2 mac floppies and really need a hard drive
to use hypercard.  You can look at the sample stacks and all on floppies but
if you are doing any work you need a hard disk.
	There have been rumors of hypercard clones for the Amiga floating around
since last fall, so far no products have been seen though.
