I've had an inquiry from a librarian who wants to know if anyone knows of a
stack that will conduct a guided tour of a facility (a factory, hospital, etc).
He is writing up a grant proposal and would like to get a bunch a Macs and use
Hypercard to introduce new users to the library, answer questions, etc, but
he needs to show, as part of his proposal, an example of the kind of thing he
has in mind. Does anyone know of something like this? The specific subject
does not matter.

You were ambigious as to whether the tour would be from 1 Mac & the person sitting down & getting the tour or if there are a bunch of Macs scattered throughout the facility with each machine telling about that area and then providing directions to the next machine. Ether way, it should be quite simple to write a tour. what would really make it work would be a camera and a digitizer. That way you could put digitized pictures in the stack. Farllon (sp?) new sound digitizer does a good job of digitzing sounds & could add some short vocal narative. possibilities abound. I think Hypercard will easily handle this need. Perhaps the Megalopolis Corp stack might be used as a demo. TeriAnn
