You need a tool called ConvertIt! from Heizer Software to convert an HC
stack to Toolbook.  ConvertIt! reportedly translates most but not all
HC features. (I haven't seen it.)

By the way, Toolbook is slower on a 20 MHz Compaq 386 with 5 Meg RAM than
HC 1.2.2 on a Mac Plus (8 MHz 68000?) with 1 Meg.  (I have seen this.)
