Thanks to all for ideas on this.  After changing the stackFileVersion for these stacks, where do I find the engine to use when creating the standalone which will run on Mac OS 9?

Hi Ray,

I can try this, setting the stackFileVersion to "2.4".

you could write a little repeat loop which iopens all these "new" stacks and
save them in old format:

...
set the stackFileVersion to "2.4"
lock messages ##!!!
repeat for each line i in fld "list of all the new (2.7) stacks with full pathnames"
  toplevel stack i
  save stack i
  close stack i
end repeat
...

Not tested, but should work.
(Famous last words ;-)

Just two quickies.  Why not set it to 2.6.6 which was the last version of MC I used before upgrading?

There is no stackFileVersion "2.6.6" ;-), only stackfileversion "2.4" which was used until version 2.7 of Rev
and "2.7" which is used from version 2.7x of Rev. There had been a change in the fileformat.

The other question is, will I find any speed decreases in doing this?

Don't think so.

I'm thoroughly enjoying my new MacPro quad Intel running 2.7.  I'd hate to loose any of that speed, although I believe all the speed is coming from the app, not the stacks.
