Although I've never actually used the thing, doesn't SuperCard from
Silicon Beach create stand-alone, executable applications, yet is able
to read/understand standard HyperCard stacks?  Granted, it's not (yet)
compatible with 2.0, but seems like it would be a worthwhile compromise,
at least from what I know about it, and it sounds like it's a bit more
robust than HyperCard, even in its 2.0 incarnation (color on cards, not
just as "pictures", irregularly-shaped buttons, etc).

Does anybody out there use SuperCard (or Plus), and can verify or rip to
shreds this reply?
