About a week ago, I saw someone post on the net asking about a
comparative review of Hyperstudio vs. Hypercard GS.  I haven't seen any
responses to it and I was wondering if I missed it.  If so, could
someone mail me the review please?

If not...can someone please tell me about them both?
I'm mostly considering the ease of making stacks, not complicated ones,
most will be rather simple.  I'm looking to make a map type of thing,
where you are given a world map, and you click on a continent, then a
country then a city, city-block, and so on down.  Well...it might not go
that far...but you get the idea.  I'm sure these kinds of stacks have
alray been made a dozen or two times as well.

I think that Hyperstudio comes with a little microphone thingy that will
let you input sounds into your stack.  Does Hypercard GS do the same?
If not, how do I get sounds into a stack?  Sound (at the moment) is not
incredibly important, but it may become so later one.

Last, is there conversion utility for moving stacks from Hyperstudio to
Hypercard GS?

Thanks all for your help.
