[OT] Adobe and Apple

That is the version from About.com but...
in Richard Gaskin's website, SuperCard history:

Feb. 1994: Allegiant acquires SuperCard from Aldus

http://www.fourthworld.com/supercard/FAQ_pages/Q0010.html

Let's see how dates match:

"In February 1994, Allegiant Technologies of San Diego bought SuperCard"

"In March 15 1994 (Tuesday) Adobe Corp. announces that will swap 1.15
of its shares for each share of Aldus Corp. of Seattle, a $525 million deal
that unites two of the leading makers of programs for desktop publishing."

So About.com should be wrong in their date...
but maybe, just maybe, Adobe expressed
their intention to abandon SuperCard and FreeHand,
so Aldus sold both: SuperCard before merging and
FreeHand after merging with Adobe. 

I remember reading in some mail list,
(maybe HyperCard list) about the project
of integrating SuperTalk as scripting
language of Aldus FreeHand.

After Freehand and SuperCard were sold
to different companies, this innovation
never saw the daylight.
