Hey folks,

We just upgraded our Mac labs (finally) to OS X for this semester.  We've 
been reluctant to this point to do the upgrade because of the Classic 
software we'd have to leave behind.

I'm currently searching for a replacement for NewReader.  Have any of you 
used this program?  It dates back to about 1995 (although was updated in 
2001) and appears to be based on Hypercard.  The program loads an external 
text file and creates a series of exercises based on it (timed reading, 
cloze, jumble, etc, etc).  NewReader running in Classic does not seem 
compatible with our managed environment, so I'd really love to find some OS 
X-native replacement for it.

Any suggestions?  Or anybody out there successfully running NewReader in a 
Mac OSX w/ MCX environment?
