I have NEVER had RunRev crash on Mac OS X. Nor have I ever had to force-quit. Aside from the problems that occur when the filenames are too long, I have never lost any data. My guess is that there are more traps in Mac OS than OS X to deal with. It would be interesting to hear from those

Hi all, Before I begin, let me just say that I am not a programmer. I've done a few simple SuperCard projects, and took advantage of the Competitive upgrade offer on Revolution. One of the reasons I got the software was to help me in my job as Director of Advertising for a furniture store. Let

*snip* It would be interesting to hear from those that develop RunRev projects on Windows. I do on many occasions and one thing I do know is save frequently. Every program on my system crashes, and sometimes the system will join in as well. I just wish my PC was as stable as my iBook. Derek

I haven't had any problems with either HC or RR under OS9 that had anything to do with the OS. A few memory issues with RR but nothing particular to OS9 Can you give us an example of a problem you've had with HC that you think is a OS-related? It might affect a transfer into RR. Sure, but
