I do not know anything more about Supercard or any other HyperCard
clone than what we have all read in the rumors of Info World and other
rags.

I DO know that before anyone should get too excited about clones they
should ask these questions:

	Will it run on a Mac Plus or SE with only 1 megabyte?
	Is it REALLY stack compatible?
	Is their HyperTalk really complete?  Or did they only implement
	  part of HyperTalk?  (I have my doubts in this area)

We welcome competition and wish them good luck.  One final note:
HyperCard 2.0 WILL have lots of great new features.  Lest I be
misunderstood, we are working on many great and new and revolutionary
things, that's why it is taking a bit of time.  Look forward to it in
the future, but in the meantime use and enjoy HC 1.2.2.
