Go here:

<ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/>

Download the last available version of MC for OS X. Decompress. 
Substitute the Rev app inside its bundle for the MetaCard app inside its 
bundle. Rename the MC one to "MetaCard." Now you have an old IDE with a 
new engine.

Download the newer MC IDE. Substitute the 2 or 3 stacks in there for 
your existing ones. Done.
