Should I forget HC? Honestly?

[J. Landman Gay]

HC import has been broken since the LC 7 rewrite but it still works in LC 
version 6.x. So you need to open the HC stack in LC 6, save it, and then 
open it in LC 9.

You may get some errors that are easy to fix. The most common errors are 
unquoted literals and using reserved words as variable names.
