Real programmers don't write in FORTRAN. FORTRAN is for pipe-stress freaks and crystallography weenies.

"Description: This special demo version contains the LS FORTRAN for Power Macintosh compiler and limited MPW software. With it you can compile, link and execute FORTRAN applications. The compiler creates applications that cannot Print and Save and no MPW toolboxsupport is included."
" IDL is a complete package for the interactive reduction, analysis, and visualization of scientific data and images. Optimized for the PC, Macintosh, and workstation environments, IDL integrates a responsive array oriented language with numerous data analysis methods and an extensive variety of two and three dimensional displays into a powerful tool for researchers. IDL supports an extensive data import capability, publication quality hard copy output, and user-defined Windows, Macintosh, or Motif graphical user interfaces. Users can create complex visualizations in hours instead of weeks with the aid of IDL's high level capabilities and interactive environment. IDL is useful in physics, astronomy, image and signal processing, mapping, medical imaging, statistics, and other technical disciplines requiring visualization of large amounts of data."

1. HyperCard Player
VERSION - UPDATE: 2.1 (08-27-93)
README:
"The purpose of the HyperCard Player is two-fold:
1) to provide users with an inexpensive means for running HyperCard stacks
2) to provide developers with a convenient way to distribute their HyperCard stacks.
The HyperCard Player meets the needs of stack users because it contains all the functionality needed to run, or 窶徘lay窶, HyperCard stacks. When a user launches the Player, the user level is set to three. This allows the user to browse or edit cards in a stack, or use the painting tools. None of the functionality needed to access more advanced authoring features are available in the Player; this functionality is available only if the stack developer has provided it through scripting."
"ATTENTION HYPERCARD PLAYER USERS: This issue of FLUX is the sixth and best yet sporting the FLUX Magic palette, which opens up to you much of the level 4 and 5 HyperCard capabilities you previously needed the HyperCard Development package to access. The Magic palette allows you to create buttons and text fields, add cards, set many properties of buttons, fields, and cards, resize and move buttons and fields, and examine and modify the scripts of these objects, as well as give direct commands to HyperCard via the Message Box. By using the optional FLUX LaunchPad, you may also export your creations to a separate stack form, entirely independent of FLUX!"

4. PseudoCard
VERSION - UPDATE: 1.0 (April 96)
README:
"PseudoCard is a stand-alone application that lets you develop your OWN applications. It was written in HyperCard 2.1 and WindowScript, and replaces many of the functions that are missing from the HyperCard Player. With PseudoCard v1.0 you can create new buttons, fields, graphics, cards, and backgrounds, and edit the script of objects, as well.
Two versions are available - the application version, and the stack version. Modifying the application version of PseudoCard results in the creation of a stand-alone application; modification of the stack version results in the creation of a HyperCard stack."

VERSION - UPDATE: 2.2.2 (02-14-94)
README:
"Mathematica for the Macintosh consists of two pieces: the Kernel, which does computations, and the Front End, which handles interaction with the user. The Front End supports interactive documents called Notebooks. Notebooks are arranged hierarchically, and contain a mixture of text, graphics, sound, and live Mathematica expressions.
This program is a Notebook reader. It allows you to look at and print Notebooks created with Mathematica , but does not include facilities for modifying or executing Notebooks. Mathematica Notebooks on the Macintosh are fully compatible with those on the NeXT Computer."
