If I had time I'd love to.  I've used ToolBook in the past and enjoyed 
it, but really need Rev's simpler install and multi-platform deployment.

But I'm afraid with the busy season I'm in now my clients would prefer 
that I stay focused on their stuff.

If I can help in an advisory capacity I'd be happy to.

I've written a lot of converters, and while it's tedious it's not 
atom-splitting.  And since you know ToolBook well maybe you could start 
by writing an exporter for ToolBook that generates into some plain text 
format that could then be parsed in Rev, and hopefully some kind soul 
here would be able to write the importer.

For an example of a Rev converter see the SuperCard to Rev converter at:

If you could use the SC->Rev format then the importer is already done.
