Hi, Thanks for all the good ideas. I didn't password protect the stack and I have swept through the exe with a hex editor and a text editor. I can't find any english language version of my code. I built the exe in LC4.5. I wonder if there is some encryption that now just occurs automagicaly? che

That would have been nice. But it just returns a corrupted file. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/ANN-Update-3-custom-controls-on-RevOnLine-tp3659664p3661619.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __

2011-09-15 Thread planix
Hi, I have been running with Ubuntu 10.10 for a little while now. Very happy with it. I even went so far as to install Livecode 4.6.1 on it. So happy was I that I decided to take the full plunge and go 'totally' Linux (if Ubuntu is such). It installed fine, though I can't for the life of me remembe

Hi, Last week I organised a trivia party with friends. We have been having a trivial pursuit championship over the last 12 months. Having organised the party I discovered that my electronic doo-hickey from the Trivia Pursuit publishers is no longer supported so I couldn't add any more questions. W

Hi Monte, I'm in Brisbane. I lived and worked in Tasmania (Launceston) for 10 years before moving to Qld in the early 2000's. I have been really interested to see the work that you are doing from down there. Your work on externalising for iOS is truly impressive. I wish I was more of a programmer
