WinPlus, originally Plus, was a cross-platform clone of the HyperCard application that enabled users to run HyperCard stacks on Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager. Originally the application was developed by Format Software GmbH (Cologne, Germany) to overcome deficits of Hypercard. It was released for the Mac in 1989, distributed by Olduvai, aimed at HyperCard power-users. Plus could run HyperCard stacks directly, and did so slightly faster than HyperCard itself. However, it also added many new features. Among the many "wish list" features were document-like resizable and scrollable windows, 8-bit color support, and the ability to display and work with graphics files stored externally. Plus did not, however, provide for pull-down menu support or allow stacks t

  • WinPlus, ursprünglich Plus, war ein plattformübergreifender Klon des Programms HyperCard, das es Anwendern ermöglichte, HyperCard-Stapel auf dem Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows und OS/2 Presentation Manager auszuführen. Ursprünglich von Format Software GmbH (Köln, Deutschland) entwickelt, um die Defizite von HyperCard zu überwinden, wurde Plus 1989 für den Macintosh veröffentlicht und durch Olduvai vertrieben, mit der Zielgruppe fortgeschrittener HyperCard-Anwender. Unter den zahlreichen vielgewünschten Funktionen, die Plus bot, befanden sich Dokumenten-artige, in der Größe verstellbare und scrollbare Fenster, 8-Bit Farbunterstützung und die Möglichkeit, mit extern gespeicherten Grafikdateien zu arbeiten und sie anzuzeigen. Plus bot allerdings keine Unterstützung für Menüs in der Menüleiste oder das Speichern eines Stapels als selbständiges Programm, wie es das Konkurrenzprogramm SuperCard bot. Plus konnte auch HyperCard-Stapel direkt öffnen und ausführen und war dabei sogar minimal schneller als HyperCard selbst. Die Portierung auf Presentation Manager (OS/2) und Microsoft Windows begann, als Spinnaker Software Plus kaufte. Es war der einzige HyperCard-Klon seiner Zeit, das es erlaubte, einen Stapel auf allen unterstützten Plattformen zu benutzen. Anfang 1994 wurde das Programm von der neugeformten Firma ObjectPlus gekauft und die Mac- und OS/2-Versionen aufgegeben zu Gunsten des signifikant überarbeiteten WinPlus 3.0. 1995 folgte Version 3.1. Zu dieser Zeit wurde das Produkt als Multimedia-System bezeichnet, entsprechend dem Nischenmarkt, auf den die meisten HyperCard-ähnlichen Systeme zielten. Gegen 1991 lizenzierte Oracle WinPlus als Basis für Oracle Card und stellte es als Teil von "Oracle for Windows" vor, einer Kollektion von Client/Server Software zusammen mit einer Auswahl von Oracles existierenden textbasierten Datenbank-Klientenprogrammen. 1992 folgte eine Version 1.1. bei der Oracle Developers and Integrators Conference, und bald darauf auch eine Mac-Version. Später wurde OMO als Front-End für ein Datenbankgestütztes Mediensystem für interaktives Fernsehen verwendet, und der Name in Oracle Media Objects geändert. Als der Erfolg ausblieb, verschwand Oracle Media Objects in den späten 1990ern. (de)
  • WinPlus, originally Plus, was a cross-platform clone of the HyperCard application that enabled users to run HyperCard stacks on Apple Macintosh, Microsoft Windows and OS/2 Presentation Manager. Originally the application was developed by Format Software GmbH (Cologne, Germany) to overcome deficits of Hypercard. It was released for the Mac in 1989, distributed by Olduvai, aimed at HyperCard power-users. Plus could run HyperCard stacks directly, and did so slightly faster than HyperCard itself. However, it also added many new features. Among the many "wish list" features were document-like resizable and scrollable windows, 8-bit color support, and the ability to display and work with graphics files stored externally. Plus did not, however, provide for pull-down menu support or allow stacks to be compiled into stand-alone applications, features of the competing Supercard. Plus was purchased by Spinnaker Software and began the process of porting the system to Presentation Manager (OS/2) and Microsoft Windows. These versions used the same file format as the original, meaning it was the only HyperCard clone of the era that allowed a single stack to be used on all supported platforms. The system was later purchased by the newly formed ObjectPlus in early 1994, dropping the Mac and OS/2 versions and releasing the greatly updated WinPlus 3.0 in 1994, and 3.1 in 1995. By this time, the product was being referred to as a multimedia system, a niche market that most of the HyperCard-like systems had targeted. WinPlus was also licensed by Oracle as the basis for Oracle Card, later known as Oracle Media Objects when the "card" terminology came to be frowned upon. It was first introduced in 1991 as part of "Oracle for Windows", which included a full suite of client/server software and a variety of their existing database client-side interface programs (text based). Version 1.1 followed at the Oracle Developers and Integrators conference in 1992, followed shortly thereafter by the Mac version. The system was later re-purposed as the front-end for a database-hosted media system for interactive TV, changing the name to Oracle Media Objects. This project went nowhere, and Media Objects disappeared in the late 1990s. (en)
