      Paul Heckel has a patent on the card user interface for hypertext
      systems.  He has defended it succesfully against Apple, and is
      going after IBM.

      Does Viola infringe on this patent?


I agree.  What about Apple?  Isn't hypercard still being sold with
systems?  Or is the royalties Apple (might be) paying the sole reason
for the sky-high prices on Macs?
