Yes, Rev will never be all of those. I would just like a simple icon editor, much like HyperCard had. And, um, uh, and a smart distribution builder to allow some to be icons for the standalone and doc files. Dar Scott THAT would be splendid for lazybones like me - I have an array (or a

Hmm I assumed that Runrev is crosspaltform and that means that RRs stack can be also opened in pc, mac or linux? That's true, Esa, But until a stack is saved on Mac OS, it will not contain the Mac OS Creator File Types that designate it as a Revolution document; so it must be opened via the

I'm converting some SuperCard projects which have sounds (and maybe other stuff) in the Resource Fork. I don't have a copy of ResEdit any more (does it run on MacOS 9.2.2 - doesn't seem to be in the Apple archive). Can anyone suggest a way to extract these resources? I tried a shareware app

A long term solution is to use the File Exchange to associate rev with .rev files. As far as I know when rev was installed it should have updated the file exchange for you. Perhaps there was a problem at the time and it didn't happen. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Graham, What you should do is: 1) Start with a card (in a new stack if you're just testing things out). 2) Grab the player object tool (the one in the lower-right corner of the tool palette), and drag out a rectangle. 3) Double-click on the player object to open the Properties palette. Click
