Freely and Legally Available HyperCard - but not a solution

[Marian Petrides]

GS OS, while made to resemble Mac OS pre-System 7, is NOT a MacOS.  I  
can't imagine that the ][GS version of Hypercard would read standard  
Hypercard files. Not to mention that Apple abandoned the Apple ] 
[ long before they abandoned Hypercard, so even if Hypercard GS could  
read SOME Hypercard files, is would not read those created with later  
versions.

I've played with Hypercard GS years ago and my recollection was that,  
like my beloved ][GS (which I still have in storage), it was slower  
than molasses in January in northern Vermont.  Imagine that speed  
running in emulation.  Not a pretty picture.
