Allegiant, a leading developer of multimedia applications for the Macintosh, recently released SuperCard 2.5. The authoring package boasts 24-bit color, paint and draw graphics, extensive built-in QuickTime and digital audio support, and over 40 SuperTalk enhancements. Proprietary filmstrip animation technology enables interactive high-speed playback of any image series. The scripting language provides complete control of the runtime environment, including several Macintosh system functions. SuperCard 2.5 also assists in creating executable stand-alone applications out of any project file for royalty-free distribution to end users.
