I've never used Dreamcard player, but I assume it is like Hypercard's player--when you double click on a Hypercard stack, the player opens and displays the stack--i.e. it is a way for a person who does not have Hypercard to be able to display a stack. I assume Dreamcard Player works the same, but like I said, I've never used it.
The Dreamcard player can be downloaded free from the RunRev site. It can then be used to run stacks (either from RevOnline or by downloading a stack and running it) - i.e. just like the Hypercard player, by the sound of it.
One thing to watch out for - there's a bug in the Windows version which means that you can't properly just double-click the stack - doing so runs the stack but the cursor is invisible. It's therefore necessary to run the player and then run the stack from that.
There are advantages to using Player + stack rather than standalones; if you (or your users) are on slow dial-up lines, it's a 20-30 second download for a typical stack, rather than 8-10 minutes for a small standalone.
