Multimedia/hypertext tools for Sun Sparcstation wanted

I am working on a project which will eventually include the conversion of
existing HyperCard stackware to a form that will run on Sun Sparcstations,
as well as writing new applications to run on the Sun platform.  Right now,
I am attempting to evaluate as many software products which will help
accomplish this as possible.

My question is this:  what multimedia/hypertext systems are available which
will run on Suns?  I already know about Viola and HyperNeWS, but are there
any others?  For financial reasons I am most interested in ones that are
free or available on some sort of inexpensive license to educational
institutions, but I would still appreciate information on any commercial
products which exist in this area as well.  (Specifically, anything that
allows easy conversion of HyperCard stacks, or better yet reads them
directly, would be *extremely* useful, because we have a fair amount of
pre-existing HyperCard stuff we would like to convert.)

Please respond by e-mail, and I will post a summary.

Thanks!
