-Stackimport is "a command line tool that reads a HyperCard stack and generates a folder with XML and PBM files from it containing a more easily readable representation of its contents". It is currently Mac only. Stacksmith is a 'clone' of HyperCard (by the same author as Stackimport) that includes the code from Stackimport and so can natively import HyperCard stacks. Source code for both [https://github.com/uliwitness/Stacksmith Stacksmith] and [https://github.com/uliwitness/stackimport/ Stackimport] is available on GitHub, and a prebuilt binary (Mac only) of Stacksmith which also includes the binary for Stackimport can be found on the [http://stacksmith.com/moreinfo.php Stacksmith website].
