This is the new tour for version 2.4 of HyperGASP, a multimedia authoring and auto-scripting extension for HyperCard.
HyperGASP adds point-and-click authoring power to HyperCard, allowing users of all skill levels to move efficiently and intuitively through the construction of interactive presentations, prototypes, and courseware - with no programming required.
As a rapid media integration tool, HyperGASP lets users place media elements - styled text, graphics, scanned images, QuickTime video clips, color, textures, sound, CD audio and videodisc sequences - where they want them, quickly and simply.
As an 'auto-scripting' interface, it allows users to create sophisticated, interactive hypermedia applications by working exclusively with the program's guided prompts, dialogs, menus and palettes.
The newest features in HyperGASP 2.4 include integrated text-to-speech support, CD audio control, random shuffling of quiz questions, enhancements to picture and QuickTime handling, and textured backdrops.
