I'm afraid this is the case.


OK - that officially sucks

MC uses other differnet stacks (stored as "Answer dialog" and "Ask
dialog" as substacks of "mctools.mc")
than Rev (stored as individual stacks named "revaskdialog.rev" and
"revanswerdialog.rev" in folder "Toolset"
in the app folder.


So the only way round this bit is to either ignore the name clash - or
rename the dialogs or possibly in the case of the RunRev IDE remove the
association linked in the stackfiles.

Does anyone know where RunRev stores the stackfile associations (which
stack) - I think there is no way of finding out other than searching each
stack.

I'm not sure, but I think they both demand a "home" stack on startup
and Rev uses another home stack than MC.
And Rev's home stack is locked!

I have no idea.


OK - I'll have a little play. MC uses one stack and one front and back
script - the problems is the name clash with the various dialogs. Maybe a
startup script can reanme these  stacks depending in which environment they
are opened in...
