I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, which is kind of surprising.  I've
seen several demos of a package called "Ultra Card" -- a HyperCard clone
designed for the Amiga -- two demos at FAUG and one at the recent Amiga
show in San Francisco.  The thing was supposed to ship a few weeks ago
but appears to have slipped.  I'm glad actually, considering how many
times it crashed ... ;-)

If they can work the bugs out in a timely manner, it looks like it will
be a fabulous product.  The scripting language has been tailored for the
Amiga system rather than being a straight port of HyperTalk.  Judging by
the startup-sequence that the fellow booted from while demo-ing, the
people behind this really know something about the Amiga.

It's more than a rumor -- less than a product.  It's entered ...
The RSN Zone!
