Hi Francis,
You say :
| The main issue I had was created by moving uncompressed stacks from
Mac
| to PC.
|
| Once I began compressing stacks on the Mac & decompressing on my
TPC,
| all but minor problems went away.
Could you clarify just a little please ? My curiosity is aroused !
Before I upgraded to RRv2.6.1, I was using v2.1.2 on MacOS Classic and
MacOSX Macs. When I renewed my license, I chose a Studio license for
Windows, as my preferred platform is the Tablet PC.
In my first attempt at moving my Mac stacks to WinXP, I simply plugged
my Lexar JumpDrive into a USB slot on the Mac, dragged the stack files
to the JumpDrive, and reversed the process on the TPC. (I had been
using this technique to move files between MacOS Classic and MacOSX for
some time with no problem.)
Some stacks seemed to survive this process and run OK; but others
didn't. Most especially, I would get "there was an error creating the
standalone" errors from the Standalone Builder.
Based on suggestions from this List, I revised my stack file transfer
procedure so that the stack files are compressed on the Mac before
dragging them to the JumpDrive and decompressed on the TPC. When this
was done, the stacks that wouldn't build correctly previously did build
working standalone apps.
Others used zip format, I use SDB_Tools plugIn's Compress/Expand folder
menuItems, and one could probably use Rev's gzip facility (though the
later must be applied on a file-by-file basis).
