[Although the list has been silent: i'm new to it, is there an archive?
is there going to be one? (Will it be worth it? :-)]

Ok, to introduce myself:
I'm not very familiar with courseware. I knew of the existence of a
macintosh hypercard course for the language esperanto, and had the
feeling that it should be possible to 'port' it to the Web -
and so i started to do it: to test how far i can get,
and to create a wider audience for the course.

I'm doing the 'port', gradually, with a normal text editor as 'main' tool.
I would be interested in tools that make it easier to translate an
existing hypercard course to HTML.
Note that I'm not _designing_ the course - i'm just porting it:
reformatting it in HTML, and creating 'solutions' for the ISMAP- and
FORM-like hypercard features, to build interactive exercises.

The 'intermediate' result is available at:
http://utis179.cs.utwente.nl:8001/esperanto/hypercourse/index.html
An ISMAP application:

A FORM based interactive exercise:
http://utis179.cs.utwente.nl:8001/esperanto/hypercourse/voorzetsels_ekz.html
(Sometime in the future these URLs will change into something more 'stable')

Regards,
Axel.
