Hypercard

originally submitted by Alan:

Hypercard was an innovative programming environment that was developed in the 1980s by Apple computer inc and it showed great potential. However, since Apple has done nothing substantial with it for over 15 years and they have recently stopped selling it all together.

Stifled uses

Alan:

There are many fine educational lessons, tutorials and exercises that were written with Hypercard that can't be updated and/or expanded because the software to create and modify it is not for sale from Apple anymore (And it is very difficult to get a second hand copy either). There are some clones, but they don't work 100% because only Apple has the specification to it and they'll won't release it even though they're not doing anything with it.
My goal would be to create an open source application that would allow people to work and expand upon the vast works that are outthere written with hypercard.
