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." http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-5510450_ITM 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.
