I've read a bit in MacWeek, etc. about SuperCard, but have some specific questions: Stacks can be saved as stand-alone programs--does this mean that a single file has all necessary info to run the stack? If so, this makes distribution of a stack much easier than with HyperCard. Silicon Beach admits to "some performance penalty relative to HyperCard"-- presumably the penalty in mostly slower speed (oh no!). Anybody have more info on this? Steve Dahm

It is slow when dealing with color stuff particularly. I haven't really played with straight black and white since I wanted to try out the new features: Multiple windows, color etc. >Steve Dahm David
