Supercard 4.8 public beta

[Richmond]

Well, every time there is a new Supercard release I download the trial and,
every time, I wonder why I do that. But I do the same sort of thing for 
HyperNEXT as well
[ http://www.tigabyte.com ] so I'm obviously bonkers.

I owned a copy of SuperCard in 1995 and really could never work out how 
to do things
efficiently (after all Colour was doable in Hypercard at that stage).
