RE: getting into the url cache

I don't think so. Here I get a not a stack error, which seems logical once I thought it through. Hi Richard It may be a problem on the compression side. I use a compressed stack as a custom file format for one of my apps and I use: -- saving save stack tName as pSave put compress(url

RE: getting into the url cache

I appreciate your chiming in here, Monte. I'll double-check my code, but the implications of your presumably functioning code example above are quite a change to my understanding of things: I can use raw data (from a valid stack file, of course) instead of a stack descriptor with the go

RE: getting into the url cache

Kind of cool, if it works. Very cool if you write an app that needs to transfer data from one user's version to another via email and want to save bandwidth. I didn't just come up with the script off the top of my head I cut and pasted from the file management library of my app. It works ;-)
