Thoughtful Software, a developer of software for the NeXTStep platform for many years, will be brining an enhanced version of HyperSense, the company's flagship multimedia authoring system, to Mac OS X when it arrives later this year. We expect to have something ready for Mac OS X late this year. HyperSense is an authoring system backed by full-featured scripting using the SenseTalk language. Hypermedia documents and applications can be created by simply dragging ready-made components from a tool palette.
Users can easily create new palettes of their own custom objects.
We believe HyperSense will be warmly received by Apple's customers, who have a long history of using authoring products such as Apple's own HyperCard. When they see what an advanced product like HyperSense can offer within the new Mac OS X environment, I think they will be thrilled. The new version of HyperSense for Mac OS X will include a number of new capabilities to provide even greater power and flexibility while enhancing the ease of learning for new users, Simons says. The beauty of SenseTalk is that it is an English-like scripting language that anyone can understand. We are staying focused on that advantage as we move ahead.
