Thanks for all the input. After considering everyone's viewpoints, looking at my own interests, talking with some of the veteran RevHeads and checking in with the Mother Ship, I've decided my next eBooklet will be on standalone creation. I'll post an outline of the specific topics as soon as I ca

I'm guessing that my book on standalone creation will also have to cover the issues of cross-platform deployment you mention. I won't, however, try to cover things like raster vs. vector graphics, communicating with externals (though including them in the build process is obviously important), and

I agree, Stephen. I've actually started that project. But my concern is that forthcoming changes in the IDE may render a lot of what I'd write obsolete before I'd sold enough copies to recoup my cost. SO that's on the list, but not near term. On 7/5/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote
