I guess the answer to that is NO, but if anyone knows of
plans for a version 2 to version 1 converter for Hypercard
please let me know.   

I don't think I can work in vers 1 any more, the new script editor 
and debugging are too good, even if I keep the features in the HC 1
range.  Many/most users of my stacks will have HC 1 for the forseable 
future (6-12 months or longer).  There is a lot of inertia in science 
software.  Think of the guy in Podunk or other out of the way place 
who hasn't had any commercial or system software updates since he got 
his mac a few years back, but can get my stacks 'cause they're 
distributed free over the network. Even many users at Hitek U. will 
take a while to get upgrades.
