I don't know whether it is a HyperCard or HyperStudio stack.  My guess
would be HyperCard.

To use a HyperCard stack, you must have HyperCard.  You can buy the
full package from Resource Central, and there is at least one
third-party commercial stack (Shoebox, I think) that includes a copy of
HyperCard (licensed), but without manuals and all the extra stacks you
get if you buy the program.

HyperStudio has a 'run time' stack player, which is included with the
full application, and can also be distributed with
PD/Freeware/Shareware stacks (you must license it, but the license is
free of charge for non-commercial distribution).  The stack player
cannot be distributed by itself - you can only distribute it with a
stack you have written.

You have to be careful that you have a recent enough version of the
stack player.  Version 3.1 should handle all stacks.
