This is probably an old question but I would like some opinions on the following question: Is hypercard hypertext? In a conference in 1987, the general consensus of the people attending was that hypercard was not '"really" hypertext because of its limited possibilities for associating links with words'. This seems a bit of a half answer. Yet to my knowledge there is no conclusive definite reasoning as to if it is or isn't. Opinions, please. Jon.

The best answer I've heard to this is that HyperCard is a development system that lets you author a hypertext application. Not all HyperCard stacks are hypertexts by any means. -- ====== jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.UUCP | compilation copyright without my permission. ___________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. | AppleLink: SQA.TEST
