Yes, its called Hyperpad, by Brightbill Roberts - looks pretty
cheap too, although i haven't used it.

Hyperpad is cheap-looking, character-based only, and not a Windows
application (flame preventative: I am familiar with version 1.0, and
haven't seen 2.0).

You may be better off investigating Asymetrix's Toolbook, and Spinnaker's
Plus, which--if memory serves--can be coerced into importing HyperCard 
scripts.

I believe that there is no version of Hyperpad out for Windows.  Hyperpad
2.0 is the latest version and it is a Dos text-based hypercard-like
application.

Asymetrix's Toolbook along with Hizer (may be spelled wrong) Convert It will 
convert most apple hypercard stacks to Toolbook with out to much trouble.

I have used Spinnaker's PLUS under Windows on the PC side. It seems to work
rather well. It's programming language is very similar to HyperTalk so that
was easy to adapt to. It is not yet compatible (as far as I can find out)
with HC 2.0 (now HC 2.1 under System 7) but if you keep you stacks to the
basics they should convert to PLUS quite easily.

Oh yeah, to convert HC stacks to PLUS on the PC, you need PLUS on the
Macintosh. Just thought I'd mention it...

Hope this helps.
