Yes. It is just an ordinary executable file, you can place it where you see fit. > > Below, are you recommending the Stack vm to remove Cog features that might be > causing problems? > Stack VM serves for two purposes: - we should keep maintaining it, since not all OSes and environments allow running jitter and we don't have jitter for everything. - and of course, if you have problems with Cog (like experiencing crashes etc..) Stack VM can serve as a fallback, more safer solution. also it could serve to detect and diagnose problems (if VM misbehaves with JIT, but runs well without it, you know who to blame ;) -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.
