The stack will likely be fine, although Revolution doesn't autosave, so that will need to be handled. When built as an application, though, the functionality will stop. This is because Windows and Unix do not allow changes to a running application. The Mac is similarly restricted in Revolution. There are (at least) two ways to adjust for this. On the runrev web site, there is a preferences manager by Rinaldi. Also, you can store the stacks that need to be saved externally to the application. The Standalone Builder handles this for you. -- regards, Geoff Canyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
