Thanks J,
This does clear things up for me. It is totally understandable now
why they need to upgrade the version number and that it is normal too.
Thanks
Tom

Unless memory fails me, yes it is: that upgrade was free to owners

I believe the 2.x update happened when HC was moved to Claris and
we had to start buying our copies. At any rate, in order to provide
the new 2.7 features, the file format had to be expanded. There was
no room left in the old format to do what was needed. Scott Raney
had to do the same thing several times in MetaCard too, and his
updates were not free. I never saw any complaints about it; of
course, that was a somewhat different user base than we have here now.
Do you intend to distribute all future stacks you release publicly
in v.2.7+ and leave people who continue to work in v<2.7 out in
the cold?
I rarely release this kind of stack (almost all my work is NDA) but
if I did, I would save stacks in 2.6 format for at least a while.
It's a minor thing.
Does anyone but moi feel it's ironic that RunRev v2.7 can create
apps for "Classic" Mac OS, which has been off the market for
years, but can't create a file readable by RunRev v2.6, which was
being distributed a few weeks ago?
I'm not sure what else they could have done. The old file format
was full and needed to be extended. What would a 2.6 engine do when
it hit all the new code in a 2.7 file?
