HyperPad, a HyperCard for MS-DOS

Software
1

In the 1990s I briefly used HyperPad, which was pretty much a HyperCard clone for MS-DOS.

Although it had a text mode user interface HyperPad was fairly advanced. It supported laserdisc control and high-end graphics cards for media display, had a scripting language similar to HyperTalk, and ran well without requiring beefy machines.

I haven’t found much online on HyperPad. Did you use it? Is there more information? I can’t remember what company produced it.

No personal experience, but I found a review:

Also a brief entry in The Electronic Labyrinth (might be worth exploring) and another in the Higher Intellect Vintage Computing Wiki (likewise?)

I didn’t buy the software myself, so I didn’t know it was affordable. It’s interesting how everything at the time was billed as “object oriented”.
