I try to build a standalone for various platforms. When I check Mac OS fat and Mac OS 68k in "Standalone Application Settings" dialog, Rev 2.6 offers to download the engines but soon says "Problem downloading engine". The engines I manually downloaded from ftp.runrev.com (pub/revolution/downloads/engines) get unstuffed to files MacOSfat.dir and MacOS68k.dir, that are not recognized as valid engines.

Where do I get usable engines?

There aren't yet any 2.6 classic engines, but you can use the ones you have already downloaded. These are stored in a special format so that they don't lose the resource fork that OS 9 requires. Put the engine downloads into the defaultfolder (whch is usually the Rev distribiution folder) and then type this into the message box:

revDecompress "<downloaded filename here>",defaultfolder

Don't decompress them with StuffIt or anything first, just leave them as you got them when they were downloaded. The above command will decompress the engines into the default folder and give you a usable engine. Move it to the "components/engines" folder and it should work.
