Pico is also the text editor used by Pine, if you've ever used that. Beware if you are editing system files with pico- it will do a hard wrap of long lines, which can cause unfortunate results on config files and such.


In script file
#!/usr/local/bin/revolution (or whereever your revolution is)
on startup
library "mystack.rev"
end startup

Oh wait! This reminded me. Maybe that's an uneccessary step? If you look at the contents of a .rev stack file, it is actually a shell script that starts off with this script, before the binary content begins


#!/bin/sh
# MetaCard 2.4 stack
# The following is not ASCII text,
# so now would be a good time to q out of more
exec mc $0 "$@"

So, if the mc binary is on your PATH, you are good to go- no need to write a wrapper shell script to invoke the engine- the stack file itself is a shell script!!

chmod 777 filename t
Makes a file executable.

And world writable... chmod 755 is a little saner - although this if it isn't a multiuser system it doesn't matter :-)
