Multiple revCursors substacks added to standalone

2022-06-09 Thread Neville Smythe via use-livecode

Mark. Gong the other way, is your task made much simpler by losing “converOctals”? I assume so, or the issue would never have come up. Are there other similar language elements that also are on the block? Craig > On Jun 9, 2022, at 1:03 PM, Ben Rubinstein via use-livecode > wrote: > > 1)
