I recently converted a Knowledgeman database file of about 80K
into Hypercard by importing it.  The resulting file (without
any links at all) was 1.2 Meg!  It seems like those who
sell databases shouldn't worry about competition from Hypercard
until we get Gigabyte disk systems, since just a few database
files will soon choke the largest hard disk.  The resulting stack
does have a neat appearance, but I am not sure I want a file
that I have to backup on 2 floppies using a hard disk backup
program.
