The only clarification I'd make is that the Revolution engine itself (which is bundled together with your stack when you make a standalone) requires certain OS-level libraries on Linux, and if they are not available, your application won't run. This can be seen when trying to use Rev as a CGI on a Linux server without all the necessary Linux libraries in place (see http://www.sonsothunder.com/devres/revolution/tips/cgi001.htm for more info). I'm assuming that since the Rev executable can simply be dragged to a Linux web server for use as a CGI (or it *used* to, anyway) that the same thing is true - if you're missing "libXext.so.6" for example, it may not run. (If anyone sees that I'm wrong, please let me know...) Other than that, I'd be kind of careful with your definition of "standalone" and the definition used by Revolution for "standalone". Rev applications built using "Save as Standalone" can either be self-contained, or can call on outside resources as necessary, based on how they were coded. So to be glib, sometimes standalones are "standalones", and sometimes they're "executables"... ;-) Personally, I always use the word "exectuable" when talking about apps on Windows and Linux, and "application" when talking about apps on MacOS... Why? Don't know, really... :-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software Web site: http://www.sonsothunder.com/ Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
