Well Donald, I would strongly suggest that you purchase MacRecorder from
Farallon Computing. It retails for about $150, and is worth at least 3 times
that much!!! Unfortunately, since the digitized data for the sounds that you
want to use in Hypercard are contained in the Data fork rather than in a
SND resource in the resource fork, moving them to hypercad is nearly
impossible without writing a conversion utility. However, I believe
MacRecorder will read those sound files, and then will save them in just
about any form you want (including placing them in a Hypercard stack as a
SND resource). Well worth the investment.

P.S.: I have no affiliation with Farallon. I am simply an immensely satisfied
customer with their product.
