MetaCard MetaCard is a cross-platform multimedia authoring tool and GUI development environment for Unix/X11 workstations and Microsoft Windows 95 and NT. Using MetaCard is an easy way to build Motif and Win32 applications, Computer Based Training (CBT), on-line documentation, and a wide variety of other products. Though MetaCard is primarily a graphical development environment, it can also be used strictly as a scripting language to solve the same types of problems Perl, Python, and Tcl are used for.

Metacard is the best cross platform tool I have ever used. I have been developing software for over 20 years. Metacard has exceeded all my expectations and has made it possible for us to provide a easy to use GUI front end for our systems management product which distinguishes us from our competitors."
