Ok, this is good. But how do you reference the app name versus the stack name? And why would you? THis will help me understand a great deal.
If I refer to an image in a subfolder at the same level as the app then in OSX how are the images referenced from with in the bundle? It seems I might get in trouble then renaming the OSX bundle.
referencing things is a bit complicated.
I might just stick to renaming the OS9 version so it is distinguishable from the OSX version and leave the OSX version alone. I finally got the windows autorun.inf version running and want to get this done right.
Thanks again

Hi Tom,
You need to distinguish between the name of the stack, the name of the stack FILE and the name of the standalone app.
Consider a structure like this: file "MyStackFile.rev" containing stacks: "MyStack" & "SubStack" Your scripts probably refer to stack "MyStack" and stack "SubStack". If you are using relative file paths, you may be using: the fileName of stack "MyStack" which probably gives you something like: /Users/tom/Documents/RevStacks/MyStackFile.rev
When you build your application, you can call it whatever you like, e.g. MyApp
It still contains the 2 stacks and any scripts referring to them will still know where to go. You can change the app's name without any problem, unless you have specifically referred to the application's name in any of the scripts.
With OS X, getting the fileName of the stack is then a bit different as the stack is buried inside the bundle folder. Once built,
the fileName of stack "MyStack"
will give something like this:
/Users/tom/Desktop/MyApp_MacOSX_Standalone/MyApp.app/Contents/MacOS/ Revolution
You may need to take this into account when constructing relative paths, but you can certainly change the name of the application and the .rev file whenever you want. The actual stack names are the only ones you need to be careful about renaming.

Does anyone know if once you build a standalone application if changing the name afterwards will effect the internal scripts that check the stack name?
I do - if the short name of this stack is "stackname" then yada-yada do this and that end if
after I build I then changed the name of the stack to "stackname OS9" so as to distinguish it between the OSx version on the same CD.
