Hm, this one got through.

What is that HyperCard "does"?

As I understand it, HyperCard implements hypertext in a particular
constrained format.  So you could argue that Netscape "does what
HyperCard does" in some sense.  Or, conversely if you're looking for
an authoring tool, there's bunches of them around.

The GNU Texinfo suite has yet another implementation of hypertext that
is pretty well suited to software documentation, but it's not
multimedia at all.

There's a tool for Emacsen called Hyperbole (http://www.beopen.com/)
which helps keep track of links and offers (it claims) a better
authoring user interface.  But you can only use it inside of Emacs
(maybe only inside of XEmacs; if you want multimedia, it has to be
XEmacs).  Never used it, I don't really know.

Need more details to be of much help though.
