I'm afraid I can't say very much without getting into trouble.  But I 
will say from what I've seen and heard it is very real and very well done.
I know someone who is actually running it and he thinks it will beat HyperCard
on the Mac.   I don't know myself but maybe I'll get a chance to run it in
the next week or so.  So far I've only seen a manual while the ohter guy 
was looking it over in the car while I was driving.   I have no idea what
Commodore's marking plans are nor even if I find out I won't share them 
unless it has been released by Commodore.  This looks like something that
will really be a plus for the Amiga in the future and may be well worth
the wait.
