I've tinkered with some existing cgi scripts (never written anything from the ground up, though) and have heard others talk here about Rev-based cgi enough that I'm getting more curious. I'm sure at some point I'll dive in a and give it a try! I, too, looked at some available modules, but they were a little pricey for what I needed. It took a little time to put together my Rev solution, but it was fun too. I've always like tweaking things to work the way I want them to. It's great to be able to build your own apps to serve unique needs. > > As for your question, you can build a simple standalone that opens that > stack file when launched.

I can then do other development projects in "copy A" while my stack is running in "copy B" (and easily make changes to it). Once I feel like it's pretty much how I want it, I'll go the stand-alone route. So far the 2 Rev solution seems to be working fine. It would be great to hear about your Miva solution as you progress on it. -- Marty Knapp <http://www.BumperSnickerz.com> <http://www.WestshoreCraftworks.com> _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
