The SenseTalkä scripting language gives you the power and
flexibility you need to create sophisticated applications. Yet
SenseTalk's power is easy to use. SenseTalk scripts are
remarkably similar to standard English, making them easy to read,
write, and understand. Our online reference tools and the ability
to easily copy and modify pre-written scripts will have you
creating your own custom applications in no timeÐeven if you
don't know anything about programming. If you've used HyperTalkâ on the Macintosh, you'll feel
right at home with SenseTalk. But once you've experienced the
advantages of HyperSense's superior development environment, you
may never want to use anything else.
No. It's true that experienced programmers will find
HyperSense to be a useful tool for developing both prototypes and
finished applications, quickly and easily. In fact, HyperSense is
not designed primarily as a programming tool. HyperSense offers
different things to different people, however, it is more a
general-purpose tool for creating and manipulating multimedia
documents and applications. In such a way HyperSense serves the
needs of many different types of users. By combining a rich document architecture with the ease of
drag-and-drop creation, plus a versatile "English-like"
scripting language, HyperSense offers a unique combination of
power, flexibility, and ease of use that is unmatched by any
other program. Requires NEXTSTEP Release 3.0 or higher. Now shipping in Multi-Architecture Binary (MAB) format.
