I don't see why that must be the case. As a SuperCard user who's built standalones under Classic you've had to deal with ResEdit, modifying 'BNDL' resources and other arcana. With OS X the steps are nearly the same but can be done with any text editor instead of a specialized geek tool. And while there may be some elements of OS X builds that Rev has not yet fully automated, for many standalones it does an adequate job with no manual plist editing at all. The biggest problem when migrating from other tools is that in most cases it's been so long since that tool was learned that the steep curve has long since been forgotten, being mistakenly remembered as "inuitive". Very little about building applications is truly intuitive with any tool, since the art of developing software involves stepping behind the curtain to see how the magic's done. Rev does as least as good a job as anything before it, and arguably more so in many cases. Think back to the first time you booted ResEdit.... -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
