I have both!

As I have said, I am not qualified to discuss the technicalities of the
distribution of Rev standalones for Linux, how distributable they really
are among the various distros, and whether they might need a setup or
installation in the traditional sense. But I do know a few facts.

Bob,
english is not my native language and sometimes I do fail to express
myself in a way that others understand but even more often I do miss
what the other guy is trying to express.
I really am not grasping what you're trying to do but I'll try to

First of all, I think your English is excellent, and if after nearly 33
years in Brazil my written Portuguese was as good as your English, I
would be a happy man.
Thank you very much for your very lucid explanation. Part of what you
said is exactly what I confirmed with Ken Ray days

FWIW, this definition proposed by Mark is what I've always thought a
standalone app is. Of course, I've not worked inside Linux nor have I
attempted to create any apps that run on Linux. If indeed a common set of
constant libraries exists for all (or virtually all) Linux distros, then I

Just a quicky in order not to drive anyone nuts.
What I am trying to ask is this:
I produce a Hello world standalone application in Rev Linux. Will it
run without problems on every known Linux?

Linux? Probably, but that means no GUI.
If by every you mean every window manager that sits on top of Linux,

Let me be clear up front that I am far from a Linux expert. I *am* a KDE

colleague of mine who IS a serious Linux guy told me a couple of weeks ago
in another context. Direct quotation:
Linux is the only OS for which there
If I may throw a couple cents at the conversation so that things
become more clear it might help everyone here.
The problem about linux family of operating systems is the library
organization of each distro. When you make a standalone, Rev glues

Some people might think I am flogging a dead horse. In my opinion, the
horse is still very much alive, and this fact has enormous consequences
for Rev Linux users, not only in theoretical terms but also in terms of
practices.

Bob, I think you may be getting hung up on the face-value meaning of
the word 'standalone'. As Jacque pointed out, there really is no such
thing in the world of modern personal computers. Maybe it would be
helpful to consider a rev-made 'standalone' as simply a stack that
