The entire thing was created using SuperCard. A sub-effort was being
made to port it to MetaCard v1.0!
My boss for that 10+ year old project is actually on this list, and I
think he'd agree that CAE would not look kindly upon finding out it
was being discussed somewhere. I could be wrong, I'll let him
interject on this point if he wants to, but they are definitely *not*
using it anymore. They switched over to Authorware about 4 years ago
because it was cross platform (the woman converting the application
over to MC left so that died).
But you're interested in MC stacks right?
