I would not call ZOOMRACKS II "HYPERCARD-like".  It is a database system that uses some hypertext and stack concepts.  However, it is nowhere near as flexible
as HYPERCARD.  It is really designes just for hypertext and database use.
It's macro language is nowhere near as sophisticated as Hyperscript.  It is
text only, no graphics, no GEM.
