[comp.sys.apple2] Hypercard look alike for 2?

rrw@naucse.cse.nau.edu (Robert Wier) (01/17/91)

 I have been asked to look into the following.  Seems that
 instructional television services here has decided it might
 be neat to transmit computer programs/data during the vert 
 blanking interval (possibly on video line 24 - the closed
 captioning line?).  They did a survey and found out (big
 suprise!) that the most common computer in public schools in Az
 is the Apple 2.  It's been several years since I've done anything
 with the 2.  Can anyone tell me if there is basically a HyperCard
 clone which will run on the it?  Please E-Mail, or I'll be checking
 here....

 THANKS!

i know that tutor-tech hypermedia from techware corporation is a 'hypercard'
like program that runs on the apple //. it's availble from APDA (apple
programmers and developers association) for $195.00. i've seen it advertised
elsewhere for about the same, around $199.00.

"tutor-tech is designed for hypermedia developers and enthusiasts using apple
// computer family for project development. in the tradition of hypercard, a
tutor-tech stack is a collection of pages composed of text, drawings and
imported artwork. pages can be linked to other pages by adding buttons, etc."

they also sell a tutor-tech gradebook for $95.00.
