Brad,

I will probably be having the reverse problem in a few months from now. I
intend to do most of the original development in HyperCard (since I started
there) and port it to MetaCard. That way is easier since MetaCard can
import HyperCard files rather well.

For the PC (Windows) I've been recommended a product called ToolBook from
Asymetrix Corporation. They probably know about it at your favourite
software store. I haven't tried it out yet. According to the rumour there
should also be translation programs, at least from HyperCard to ToolBook.
If you choose this tool for the PC I would be interested in hearing how it
works!
