There are several.  A free version was described in a recent Dr. Dobb's
and can be gotten from them.  I'm very happy with HyperHelper from:

		Azarona Software
		PO Box 13433
		Denver CO 80201

at a cost of about $50 US.  It is very easy to use, but quite different
from HyperCard.

One problem is that none of the PC versions I have seen support
graphics.  Dan Bricklin's Demo II program supports Hercules and CGA
graphics, but I find it a pain to use.  The problem with PC graphics is
that you have to determine the monitor type.  It isn't worth the hassle
so far as I am concerned.
