You might call Spinnaker software for their 'Plus' system.  It's
basically Hypercard with improvements.  They discounted the $500
list down to $150 for schools, and even gave me a free copy (but
I don't know how often they do things like that).  It runs on
Mac, Windows, and OS/2.  It is being ported to UNIX and others.
I haven't had the chance to work in detail with it yet, but 
reviewers in PC magazine said it was better than Toolbook in 
several respects, and the manual insists it can do multimedia
(but I don't know how, yet).
