“Dazzling at Sydney’s Macworld Expo: an up-to-the-minute implementation of Apple’s latest integration technology. The fully fledged multimeda training program includes a voice-recognition interface and intelligent agents, who in this case are live actors that advise you each step of the way. Developed by Chris Mathison of Tokyo-based Imagine21, the program interweaves four powerful scripting languages: Lingo, HyperTalk, AppleScript and WindowScript, in addition to a substantial number of custom XCMDs and XFCNs installed in the modules. ... Chris was negotiating with Australian educational institutions for licensing at the time we met, and we thought the holiday break might be a good time to ponder what life would be like with all of the above in the Christmas stocking.”
