Thanks! One source has been my inclination also, Jacqueline; anytime I have to keep things in sync I have found I'm asking for trouble. Obviously when using only Studio I only had one source. I guess that having the Windows IDE allows me to make tweaks for the Windows version while it is running in Windows, which surely makes tweaking easier. It may also make me more fussy than necessary about formatting! Hmm... maybe I could use behaviors to do things like set the font/size/margins of a field OS-specific if there were just something like a drawField message...

Thanks for the advice Andre. I'm still not sure whether you maintain one source (Mac+PC) or two (Mac, PC). I'm also a single programmer, not a group, which seems to be the best reason to use the version-control features of Magic Carpet. Could you describe just a bit more how you use MC?

It's really hard to maintain separate source files, you're bound to forget to change something on the other copy. I always work with a single stack file, which I share across platforms. In general I do most of the work on my Mac, and then I open the stack on Windows (running on Parallels) and tweak things that need it. I keep going back and forth like that, checking things.

Keeping two separate copies in synch seems like double the work to me.
