Who is doing what with MetaCard? Would anyone like to share a description
of what you've used or are considering using MetaCard for?

Here's some of the things we've used MC for:

- present capabilities for image processing algorithms (show
images and results, dataflow diagram that's used as navigator)

- auto-cycling "slide-show" shown at 2 conferences and the local
chapter of the ACM (available in
pi7.saic.com:/pub/presenting/Topitics.mc.Z)

- miscellaneous front/back ends to existing programs

- front and back end for a demo/presentation of a parallel
processing system. MC drove 39 processors and displayed running
results. Some hilites of the uses of MC in this project included:
-- use of sound
-- HyperText links
-- bi-directional communication with Unix processes
-- multiple stack integration
-- use of scanned color photographs
-- parameter selection for live demo
