I have a feeling opening a Hypercard file with Livecode is asking for 
trouble.

Presumably, among other things, the fact that a HC file should have both 
a resource fork and a 'what-ever-the-other-fork-is-called-bit-I-cannot 
remember' fork will not help.

Maybe open it in a text editor, or, heaven forfend, Hypercard running on 
a Mac running a 'Classic' system, or Sheepshaver doing the same.
