Ahh, that takes me back. The things we did with Hypercard - object orented programming for the masses and without the techi-label ! I always assumed it had gone for good ...

I'll certainly be taking a look at this.

Folk interested in the HyperCard saga shouldn't forget that the app wasn't alone. SuperCard followed not long after and was pitched as a more powerful alternative.
