Why should this be a speedy delete instead of a redirect to hypercard? - Nunh-huh 07:21, 1 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Early days

I had heard somewhere that Appleton actually had developed something like SuperCard before he moved to California while he was in Knoxville. According to legend, Appleton showed something along the lines of HyperCard or SuperCard to Apple, who then later released their own, similar product.

[edit] Late 1990's

The original Mac port to Windows (and before that to OS/2) was attempted by Silicon Beach Software and cancelled.

I don't believe Allegiant made three attempts at porting it--Allegiant did two "if" they completely abandoned the Windows work and moved on to develop a new version in their last 6 months or so before going under. The first version of a Netscape plug-in that played a SuperCard project (a BMW car project) was done in Allegiant's Windows SuperCard codebase that was never released. Roadster came after that.
