What is Interactive Prophet?
It's a HyperCard stack that teaches the basic principles of electronic publishing, as much by example as by instruction.
I produced this in the hope it will inspire others to similar and greater feats. HyperCard has a poor image, but it is in my opinion the best authoring package. I am not at all surprised that Myst was programmed in HyperCard. And with version 3.0 it's about to get even better.
About the Author
I am a youngish (still not thirty!) freelance editor, writer, artist, whatever, living in London, England. Other work I have on the Internet to date is StoryProject, a freeware story development tool for fiction writers. My next freebie, a HyperCard interactive adventure, is due out in Spring 1997.
If you like my work and have a multimedia producer or editor vacancy in your company, then get in touch.
