Sure - decompress it locally and then run it. See the decompress function.

The original example posted lists a stack as the zipped file.  Thus it would
possible to compress the original stack and then decompress the stack
wherever needed.

Sorry Scott, I still don't get it. Take me through this. I have a stack file "MyStackFile,rev".

Do I compress the stack with something like:

save this stack as compress(url "file:Macintosh HD/Desktop Folder/MyStackFile2.rev")

(This produces gibberish for the file name on my HD.)


And then what? Are you assuming the user (the person downloading this file from the web) is running Run Rev and that the Run Rev application has the instructions for decompressing the downloaded file and then opening it? And what does that code look like? Anything like:


uncompress(url "file:??????)

And are we talking about zip files or gzip files?

Confused,

Jim
