Oh.. sorry Richard. I assumed you would understand the issues so I didn't elaborate. The custom compress function handles resource forks and directories. Our built-in compress function doesn't. So we create a stack with all the required data and use the built-in compress function on that. > >Where does one download the actual engines? > Not sure. I don't know if RunRev distribute engines by themselves. One way to get an engine would be to use the standalone builder to download it.
