A piece of history! When Allegiant sold off SuperCard to IncWell, Roadster
was already broken. For a while during the 3.x era, the Windows plugin was
updated and much, much more stable than the Mac plugin.
Ken is right, only a subset of SuperCard was supported (and for a while,
more on Windows than Mac!). My feeling is that it didn't quite succeed at
the time since so many internet users were puttering along at early modem
speeds.
