Would Hypercard be considered more of an Operating system, programming
language, or both/neither. I don't own a Mac, and from what I've heard
Hypercard is now my only impetus to buy one. However, everything that I have
heard about it comes from people who either have never used an Apple //, sell
Macs, or both. That's why I'd like some input from people who have tried both.
Is stackware written by Hypercard or for it with Assembly, C, etc? And back to
the original point that was brought up, about Hypercard being ported to the //G
S, is it the way in which Hypercard itself works, or the way in which it uses
Mac technology. That is, would it be as unique if it was running on a IIGS?
I should point out that I have never had the chance to use Hypercard. These
are not rhetorical questions.
