  I'm looking for info on Todd Rundgren's Macintosh OS called HyperCode;
specifically, has anyone seen it (at the Apple Developers' Conference)?
Anyone know how to contact him?

  For those who didn't read it in MacWeek, there was a short article on
pp. 1 & 9 describing the OS--Rundgren (yes, THAT Todd Rundgren) is
currently negotiating with some software publishers to get it marketed
(this may mean no easy access to specifics on the beast itself).

  The idea behind the system is lots-of-little-tools for different kinds
of data (graphics, text, whatever), plus a context-sensitive shell to give
you acces to them; documents are collections of different kinds of data
instead of monolithic entities as in the Mac OS.  I recall seeing
something a few years back called "Alisa" (sp? name?) that was similar
in conception.  The name implies presence of "hyper"-links.

  There's a quote from Rundgren in the article painting a vision (similar
to that pushed by XCMD afficianados) of pick-and-choose flexible
upgrading through inexpensive, small tools for special purposes, etc.

  And here I thought this guy just did guitars, vocals, composition and
production--who'd have thought he did keyboards, too?  :-)
