Hi,

The requirements on the runrev homepage are really old. Most platforms in that list are currently unsupported.

The standalone builder sets the SIZE resource of standalones for Mac OS 9 to 15MB by default, not 4 as suggested by the web site. Since Revolution loads stacks into memory in their entirety, you should be pretty safe if you take the file size of all stacks plus 4MB, taking 15MB as a minimum.

Hi Mark,

But do note that on OS9 and lower the default is to use dynamic memory allocation, so stacks are not loaded into application memory but into system memory. Therefore, increasing the application memory partition actually reduces the amount of memory available to your application. In fact a 15MB application partition is usually much larger than necessary.

I was very perplexed by this when I found it out, so this arcane fact is now permanently burned into my brain. :-)
