With the rash of new hypercard-like programs appearing (UltraCard,
CanDo, VIVA(?), and one CBM is supposedly working on), it seems to
me that somebody should come up with some sort of file standard for
them (and soon!! 2-3 months ago would be a good time). I'm sure they
use IFF standards for pictures and sounds, but is there some standard
for the actual hypermedia programs? It seems to me this would encourage
a lot of Mac software companies who produce Hypercard stacks to port them
to the amiga; if there are 5 completely different types of hyper-stuff,
they might not be so quick to start work on them....
I know very little about how hypercard-type programs operate,
so there may already be some type of standard I don't know about... or maybe
the programs generate self-running hyper-???? stacks.
