Re: Standalone Builder eBook Input

2006-07-20 Thread Bill Marriott
Two areas (nagging questions) that I've oft wondered about and would like to 
see covered in a book authoritatively:

1) Installers. What are my options? Are any free? Is there one done in Rev 
itself? What about InstallShield?

2) How do I sign an application (or get it signed) so users don't get that 
scary security dialog box when trying to run the program under Windows?

And on the recommendation front:

- I have had great success using Axialis Icon Workshop to create 
cross-platform (Mac and Windows) icons. I just make the icon in the drawing 
program of my choice, save a PNG, and the program automatically makes all 
the necessary icons in the required sizes, bit depths, and file formats in 
one step. The program also has a nice, integrated bitmap editor in case I 
want to tweak any of the auto-generated icons.

Standalone Builder eBook Input

2006-07-18 Thread Dan Shafer

OK, I'm starting to gather insights, input, comments, questions, puzzles,
etc., for my forthcoming new eBook in the ongoing series Software at the
Speed of Thought. This volume will cover the ins and outs of building and
distributing standalones.

If you have any tricks, tips, workarounds, pointers, nagging questions,
etc., to offer, please do so. I'll give appropriate credit in the finished
book for stuff I use that doesn't originate with me.

And no, I have no target date for completion yet. I don't yet know what i'm
up against here!
