A snapshot of the Macintosh version of MetaCard is now available from
download ("Get") page of the MetaCard WWW site http://www.metacard.com
This snapshot is pre-alpha, and so is missing many of the features
that will be implemented for the final release. It does demonstrate
that most of the MetaCard feature set has been ported, and that
rapid progress is being made. See the README file for details about
the feature set for this release.

There is also a new page on the WWW site with the results of running
the SuperBench benchmark on the pre-alpha Mac version of MetaCard and
SuperCard 3. The full results can be seen on the page
http://www.metacard.com/superbench.html, but the bottom line is that
MetaCard executes the scripts almost 30 times faster on average, with
bursts to over 50x faster for the numeric-intensive scripts.
