The Revolution Website promises:

Revolution allows you to create true standalone applications for any of the 
major platforms - Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac OS X and Classic.  Develop on the 
operating system of your choice and preview the look and feel of your target 
platform. Develop Linux and Unix applications on Windows, develop Windows 
applications on Mac OS X - you have total flexibility over where you develop 
and where you deliver. And when you deliver, you don't incur additional license 
or royalty fees - maximising your revenue and pricing flexibility, while 
minimising your administration. 

.. so, imagine my dismay when, having bought the product, spent a month 
learning to use it (sorta) and having developed my project as a standalone, I 
discovered from the conference on standalones that:

Note that the Mac OS option will not be available if you are running on Windows 
or Linux. Due to the way MacOS works, you can only build MacOS standalones 
using a Macintosh, though you can do it under Mac OS X if you like.

I went back to the sweeping assertions and noticed that "Develop Linux and Unix 
applications on Windows, develop Windows applications on Mac" doesn't say you 
can develop Mac standalones on Windows - only that one can preview the look and 
feel. Like "weapons of mass destruction related program activities," one has to 
look carefully to find out what it means by what it says." OK, I should have 
known better. I'm not really even sore. But I would like to know what I'm going 
to have to do to make a standalone for the Earth Shoe and VW Bus OS. I've tried 
the Rev. docs (Ha! I should have known after a month of ownership) and the 
otherwise admirable Rev.net on-line. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
