A/UX: Supports HyperCard (9/94)


Many Macintosh applications, including HyperCard, now can run under A/UX.
As a result, you can develop programs that run under A/UX, such that
HyperCard can communicate with a user's application programs.

In general, HyperCard front-end interface XCMDs (external commands) and/or
XFCNs (external functions) can be written in C or Pascal to communicate
with a user's application via generic A/UX system calls or A/UX toolbox
calls. This means that you can port an application from a different UNIX
platform to A/UX and give it a HyperCard interface.

Oracle Relational DBMS has developed such a HyperCard interface for their
applications running under A/UX. For more details, search under "Oracle".
