Stacks are indeed cross platform, I moove them around all the time.

The above quote is definitely a mistake. I never attempted to build
standalones for say Linux on the Mac since I have to test the full
functioning of stacks on Linux anyway.

You have a point here. I probably had the same complain some time in the
past. For a more advanced user the Help is acceptable but for a beginner
it is definitely insufficient.
Nevertheless Scott Raney is watching the list day and night and hardly
misses any unanswered questions.
