In addition, Spinnaker Software has an ad in this week's Windows at
Work Supplement of PC Week for Spinnaker PLUS 2.0 (what was 1.0?)
which is a HyperCard like application environment that runs on Mac and
PC in Windows and OS/2. Anyway, they claim to be able to "import and
enhance existing HyperCard stacks." Their number for a free demo copy
is 1-800-323-8088 ext. 555 (617-494-1200 in MA, with same ext).
