NoteCards can be obtained from the Xerox Artificial Intelligence Business
Unit, or whatever they are called these days. Try (818) 351-2351. However,
I think you may be surprised at what you are getting. NoteCards is written
in Interlisp-D, not Smalltalk. However, it is a very nifty Hypertext system.
Alas, the only thing it will run on is a Xerox workstation.

If you are looking for Hypertext in Smalltalk, you should check out Xerox's
Analyst. This is the system that was demoed at OOPSLA last year. I think it's
a pretty spiffy piece of software, but then I spent several years working on it
when I was at the big X. Contact the Smalltalk Product Manager at Xerox
Special Information Systems, also at (818)-351-2351.
