Le CD-ROM est un complément très utile au nouveau cheval de bataille de la firme à la pomme, l'Hypercard. Ce logiciel sophistiqué, très novateur, conçu par Bill Atkinson, l'auteur du logiciel graphique Mac Point, a été annoncé par Apple en août dernier. Hypercard qui facilite le développement de ses propres applications par chaque utilisateur, sans formation spécifique à l'informatique, rend aussi très simple l'accès à une information perdue dans une grande masse de données. Un exemple présenté par Apple : un manuel de réparation de bicyclette. Le vélo apparaît en entier sur l'écran. Si on veut changer le patin de frein avant, on clique sur le dessin, et une image centrée sur la pièce apparaît, puis éventuellement un détail plus fin. 3, record 1, French, - Hypercard

Today Hypercard and its close relative Supercard are used by professionals to create very sophisticated hypermedia products. Although many Apple Macintosh owners have discovered the joy of programming through Hypercard, the majority probably only use it to run Hypercard applications("stack") produced by professionals or very knowledgeable amateurs. Only a small minority construct applications for their own use. 1, record 2, English, - stack

HYPERCARD se fonde sur la métaphore de la fiche «card», élément d'information de base correspondant à un écran; un ensemble de fiches constitue une pile «stack». Les liens entre les fiches sont contrôlés par les boutons, qui peuvent prendre la forme d'icônes, de flèches, de mots ou de zones de l'écran. À chaque bouton est associé un script, c'est-à-dire un programme définissant l'action que déclenche le bouton. Cliquer sur le bouton provoque l'exécution du programme et donc de l'action qu'il détermine : affichage d'une autre fiche, génération d'un son, accès à un séquence animée stockée dans un CD-ROM, lancement d'un autre programme disponible dans l'environnement Macintosh, etc. 2, record 2, French, - pile

An early version of this kind of interactive software is "hyperfiction", which lets the user intervene in the plot as one of the characters. In this case, hypercard technology allows for the creation of a network of related sequences which the reader can explore at will. Hyperfiction was first used in computer games... and has now made its way into novel writing, allowing the user to read nonsequentially.... 3, record 3, English, - hyperfiction
