HyperCard
     
        A software package by Bill Atkinson for storage and retrieval
        of information on the {Macintosh}.  It can handle {image}s and
        is designed for {browsing}.  The powerful customisable
        interactive {user interface} allows new {application}s to be
        easily constructed by manipulating objects on the screen,
        often without conventional programming, though the language
        {HyperTalk} can be used for more complex tasks.
