What is "hypernext"

HyperNext is a visual software development system aimed at beginner programmers that runs on Macintosh and Windows computers. It was inspired by HyperCard and includes a GUI having controls such as buttons and listboxes, and an interpreted English-like programming language. HyperNext also includes a high-level object-oriented compiled BASIC. The HyperNext Studio package comprises three complementary applications that can help users create and run software under Windows and Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 platforms:

1. HyperNext Creator is similar to Hypercard and enables users to create their own software, both cross-platform standalone applications and stacks for the freeware HyperNext Player. The design interface of Creator has just a design window, one toolbar and a mode switcher. Its three modes of Design, Preview and Run enable rapid switching between the creation/editing and running of programs.
2. HyperNext Developer builds plugins/libraries for HyperNext Creator and allows users to extend the functionality of Creator with their own or 3rd party plugins. HyperNext Developer has a very similar user interface to that of Hypernext Creator and places built plugins directly into the Creator's plugin folder. For faster plugin development is possible to have both Creator and Developer open simultaneously.
3. HyperNext Player is a standalone application similar to Hypercard Player in that it runs stacks created by its creator application, HyperNext Creator. HyperNext Player is freeware and there are versions for Windows and Mac OS X and Mac OS 9 platforms.
