Thanks to all those who replied, I got a lot more requests for a summary than I
got input.... are you'al sure there's nothing else out there - remember I'll
take something as simple as Hypercard.

  I've been using Epoch, the X Windows compliant version of GNU emacs to do some
  quick and dirty hypertext, but there _must_ be something better.

  Sun announced a JPEG board this week call VideoPix.
  Unix Today has an article about it.

  I believe that NeXT is including a package called "Ensemble" with OS 2.0 --
  it is designed to integrate sound + images + text on the NeXT.

  I am a graduated student here at Stanford, and am involved in a
  multimedia authoring envrionment project. So far, we support audio
  CDs, videodiscs, and text. Programmers are working on support for
  videotape.

  Carnegie Mellon's Andrew software (distributed with X-windows)
  supports multimedia mail and other multimedia documents.  Sun has a
  large multimedia lab in Milpitas, CA, and finally, the MIT Media Labs
  are working on this kind of project.

  Last, anyone who has used a NeXT machine realizes its great multimedia
  capabilities.  The Amiga 3000 is, perhaps, the multimedia box of
  choice. See the Byte article on that machine (April 1990?).
