1) Learn how to spell "pickle" first. Geesh, don't you keep any dills in
your fridge?
2) It will actually *not* be any faster than HTML - I've done development
in HyperCard, and I know it won't be - and it will be significantly less
useful because HyperCard has no good way of handling URLs without adding
things onto it that won't be present on most people's machines.
3) If anyone does a HyperCard version, it's going to be me, simply because
I can control formatting and layout the way I want it to look.
4) Does anyone actually have a *problem* using the HTML version on, say, a
Plus? Considering that there are only about seven images in the whole FAQ,
any text-based browser oughta display a standalone HTML document just fine.
I'm actually considering ditching the PDF version because of formatting
problems with older versions of Acrobat.
