Calling all hypertext/multimedia fans,

    I'm looking to create a hypertext/multimedia educational product
and I'm still at the which-platform stage.  Anyone care to comment
on the relative merits of:

HyperCard 2.0
SuperCard 1.5
Guide (Owl International)
PLUS (Spinaker)

...anything else?

Specifically, I'm looking at PLUS.  Anyone used it?  How well does
it cross from Mac to IBM?

I need heavy graphics support - how's Guide in this area?

If PLUS doesn't do it, I'm going with HyperCard, 'cause I can't stand
developing at the molasses rate SuperCard restricts you to.

Anyone with PLUS experience (good or bad), I'd appreciate a reply.

E-mail, please, to gasser@eniac.seas.upenn.edu (i.e. reply to this...)


advTHANKSance,

Nate
