The biggest problem seemed to be the redraw speed for complex graphics images composed of many overlayed images. They do the quick and dirty redraw (farthest-to-closest object). Another possibility. There is a company in Walnut Creek Calif, named Heizer Software (I think), that sells a product that converts Hypercard stacks to ToolBook stacks. ToolBook runs on IBM PC's under windows. I don't know if they've updated the product to handle Hypercard 2.0, but I'm sure they will over time. And, of course, you'll have to be careful about what features you use in Hypercard, but it may provide a more paletable solution. Larry Rowe
