Opening a Supercard file in Livecode?

[stephen barncard]

Still, was it smart enough to figure out 'binary' features of Livecode that
give speed and performance such as "repeat for each", etc.  and
multi-dimensional Arrays and the UI features such as the datagrid ?

The 'translation'  could end up being a convoluted mess, hard to
debug/understand. And there is so much more to Livecode now than what was
available in Metacard.

I think most here would agree for anything but the most basic stacks that
it's still better to do a translation by hand.

It could always be done, but is it worth the time?
