Things are ok now.

Re: If Monks CD-ROM - test download please
Yes I know it is not an application, and there is a story attached to that one Colin. But, it works, doesn't it? Why? Monks was more than an interactive presentation. There were 2 applications -- a Journal and an e-book reader -- built-in, in addition to the interactive presentation. Since we didn't want the user to have to have enough memory to run 3 Revolution standalones at the same time (this was planned out in last millennium) we put the Rev engine into one of the standalone's -- so they would have to only have two standalones open at most. So, the Rev engine in the Journal runs the interactive presentation and the journal application. If you open the Journal app you go straight into the sophisticated Journaling application, if you open the document you go straight into the Cloister and the interactive presentation. *** Colin -- I remember fondly a few of the things you said to me when we were building Monks like: If Monks had Windows they'd jump out of them. It turned out that with Revolution Windows development was a piece of cake. However, we were developing it at the same time that Revolution was working out its bugs with the Mac platform and Steve Jobs was jerking that platform around every few month with a new version of OS X -- that changed the underpinnings of the OS. This is long, but, now I'm ready to tell the story. Just before the burning of the CD's a new version of Revolution came out with something we needed, but broke the perfectly sensible code we were using to launch Monks. So, Sarah, from this Revlist saved the launch by writing for us an Applescript that relied of our Monks creator code to launch Monks. And, I thought, why throw away the old launcher, I think I'll just leave it on the CD-ROM and call it the back-up launcher even though it stopped working. Maybe someday it will work again... And that, is really a nutty way to think. However, five years later, Snow Leopard stop recognizing Creator Codes and Sarah's AppleScript stopped working. Then I checked the Back-up launcher... and it worked On Mon, Jan 4, 2010 at 3:18 PM, Colin Holgate co...@verizon.net wrote: Do you know that the launcher file is a Unix document, and not an application? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution -- Brian ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: If Monks CD-ROM - test download please
Thanks for the download. I'd never seen MONKS before, although I knew of its existence, being a Mac developer in the late 80s. What hasn't been talked about is the excellent extra NEW material that Brian added.

Re: If Monks CD-ROM - test download please
Is anyone else having having trouble getting the OS X version to launch? I just double-click on the new launcher in the If Monks had Macs folder and it launches Monks everytime. Works from the doc, too.
