[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] WANTED: SuperCard --> HyperCard conversion utilities

er225711@unix.cis.pitt.edu (M Kikuchi) (06/18/91)

Can someone point us to a SuperCard-to-HyperCard conversion utility program(s)?
My partner (who knew nothing about programming) got talked into using 
SuperCard for her dissertation research, and we found out that it sucks
in terms of XFCN compatibility and ease of use, so we are looking for
quick ways (hopefully cheap) of converting our project to HyperCard.
THank you.

You may want to talk to Heizer Software about this.  At one time they were
considering doing a SuperCard - HyperCard converter (both ways) in the HIFF
coversion scheme that they use to convert between HyperCard and ToolBook, but I
don't know if they ever did anything with it.
