$49.95 "SUPERCARD" MULTIMEDIA/WEB AUTHORING TOOL SALE!
Allegiant offers previous version of SuperCard at incredible price!

SAN DIEGO, CA -- April 11, 1997: Today Allegiant Technologies announced a
special $49.95 inventory closeout price for their award-winning Macintosh
multimedia authoring tool SuperCard 2.5.

SuperCard 2.5 sports full PowerPC acceleration, built-in QuickTime support,
a powerful Standalone Maker utility for building royalty-free
"double-clickable" applications, hypertext, advanced sound features,
multi-frame "Filmstrip" animations, and more. These new features build
upon an already strong set of powerful authoring capabilities that included
comprehensive media support (QuickTime, sounds, animations, text &
graphics), support for a full suite of Macintosh GUI controls, and
SuperTalk, the most robust implementation of an English-style scripting
language on the Macintosh platform.

MacUser magazine gave SuperCard 2.5 its 1995 Editors' Choice award for
"Best New Multimedia Authoring Application." SuperCard is much-evolved
)from the first version introduced in 1989 and is now widely used to create
multimedia titles, education reference projects, computer-based training,
self-running demos and kiosks, and completely unique custom applications
delivered on CD-ROM or over the Web.

The $49.95 inventory closeout sale price is nearly 90% off of SuperCard
2.5's suggested retail price of $399 and is only available while supplies
last. Supply is limited to stock on hand.

"SuperCard is an amazing tool with a rich history of empowering people to
communicate anything they can conceive of - and do it with a high level of
interactivity," said Kevin La Rue, Director of Marketing for Allegiant.
"Every Mac programming should have a copy on their desktop because it makes
such an excellent prototyping tool. A $49.95 inventory clearance sale on
our previous version makes SuperCard affordable to anyone!" La Rue
concluded.

After purchasing SuperCard 2.5, customers also qualify for Allegiant's
$99.95 Upgrade offer to their latest rendition of SuperCard, version 3.0.
New SuperCard 3.0 shipped just four months ago and features integrated Web
authoring for the Internet (delivered via the Roadster plug-in), automatic
scripting with ClickScript, a re-designed Project Editor, and even more
multimedia power. SuperCard 3.0 has already received strong positive
reviews, such as "5-mice" from MacUser UK, "4-stars" from Macworld
Magazine, and "4-diamonds" from Macweek.
