Jaquiss Jr. > > robertj@tekgen.bv.tek.com You would actually have better luck converting a HyperCard stack to HyperPad on the PC, the PadTalk is almost identical to HyperTalk (except it has things HyperTalk doesn't). PadTalk is available for about $99 from Brightbill-Roberts and only requires 384K and DOS 2.1 and it is mouse compatible but not mouse dependent.

How about converting from Hypercard on a Mac to Guide on a Mac, and then seeing if Owl has a Guide-Mac to Guide-PC conversion? Either way, I suspect you'd be in for a lot of cutting and pasting. If the stack doesn't use graphics (highly unlikely, I know), then HyperPAD might be a way to go... and if anyone has tried it with more than very simple stacks, tell us about it... Bob B-)=
