text encoding q, problems with networked folder and IDE

[Alex Rice]

I have a 1.6 MB stack that I am developing on Mac OS X. I connected to the Mac with SMB file sharing and opened the .rev file with the Windows Rev 1.1.1. A couple of questions

1) The stack grew from 1.6 MB to 2.2 MB. Why?

2) Every save takes around 20 (twenty) minutes! This is 100MB ethernet and copying the 2MB file is instantaneous. Saves on the Mac Rev 1.1.1 take < 1 sec. Then I copied the stack over to the windows box and saving in there from the Windows Rev 1.1.1 also takes < 1 sec. Does Rev have problems working from a networked directory?

3) I remember reading somewhere that one should open the stack using Revolution IDE on the target platform, then save the stack, to convert the text encoding of all the cards. Is this correct? Anything else to get the text encoding converted correctly? I'm mainly interested in fast startup times.

Thanks,
