Thanks to all those who replied, I got a lot more requests for a summary than I
got input.... are you'al sure there's nothing else out there - remember I'll
take something as simple as Hypercard.

  I've been using Epoch, the X Windows compliant version of GNU emacs to do some
  quick and dirty hypertext, but there _must_ be something better.

  Sun announced a JPEG board this week call VideoPix.
  Unix Today has an article about it.

brad@woof.columbia.edu
  I believe that NeXT is including a package called "Ensemble" with OS 2.0 --
  it is designed to integrate sound + images + text on the NeXT.

warren@jessica.stanford.edu
  I am a graduated student here at Stanford, and am involved in a
  multimedia authoring envrionment project. So far, we support audio
  CDs, videodiscs, and text. Programmers are working on support for
  videotape.

  Carnegie Mellon's Andrew software (distributed with X-windows)
  supports multimedia mail and other multimedia documents.  Sun has a
  large multimedia lab in Milpitas, CA, and finally, the MIT Media Labs
  are working on this kind of project.

  Last, anyone who has used a NeXT machine realizes its great multimedia
  capabilities.  The Amiga 3000 is, perhaps, the multimedia box of
  choice. See the Byte article on that machine (April 1990?).

Don't forget SLATE from BBN ... compound documents (text/image/graphics/
spreadsheet/digitized sound); documents can be printed, e-mailed or 
manipulated simultaneously by many viewers on many nodes.  Supported
on SUN and RISC System/6000.

I have no connection with BBN.

I might add here that the cost of a tricked out Amiga is often lower
than the cost of a "good" peripheral for your workstation.  Compare
the price difference of a SS-2GS with that of a 2GX, for instance.
The differential in the monitor and board cost would easily pay for
a 2500HD or 3000.

And just think of what you could buy for the cost of a TAAC board...

This posting was prompted by the sudden realization that our group
often wanted "cool graphics", but not "realtime cool graphics", thus
making my Amiga very popular. :-)

Greetings.

I do not normally follow this newsgroup, but I find myself
in need of a multimedia and/or hypermedia toolkit for the
IBM RS/6000. I have missed the referenced summary of Multimedia
products for Unix - would some kind soul out there be in a position
to email it to me?

I will probably not have a chance to track the goings-on in this
newsgroup, so if anyone has any suggestions please drop me some
email.

Thanks very much in advance.
