I'm sorry, I phrased my question rather badly;
obviously standalones and stacks being run with Stack
Runner have certain constraints placed on them which
are not there in the dev. environment.
However, in my own case (see earlier postings under
this heading) I was extremely surprised to find that
Richmond,
Now, having paid for a newer version of RR I was
rather surprised to find that there appear to be
rather similar script constraints.
Without those constraints, you'd pretty much be able to write your own
mini-Rev and distribute it for free, eh? Just put whatever script you like
Wow . . .
Bill Marriott, thank you - I got a lot more advice and
help than I expected there - all of which is useful.

Hi Richmond ,
I am sure that many other educators wish they had the
time, energy and money to make really super programs
for their educational needs.
Not to belabor it, but the whole point was that it actually takes LESS time
to build quickie apps like this, once you begin thinking in a
Hi again, Richmond,
However, the relative program was written over a 15
minute period (mucking around preparing the graphics

little or no contact with computers (in Bulgaria most
people cannot afford a computer) so would be quite

I made a jolly little stack (on a Mac computer),
Family.rev, to

cousin and so on.
It is available on RevOnline: Family Words
So, took it downstairs and popped it on my Linux boxes
and . . .
dull thud!

FWIW, it seems to work as intended on Windows.
Now, what exactly happens on Linux? And which flavor of Linux?
I looked at the script of your stack... you really like the brute force
approach to programming, it seems! I can't quite figure out what it all does
or how... maybe you could run the
Followup:
Are you running this on Linux as a standalone? I bet you are, because the
stack doesn't work on Windows or Mac as a standalone, either.
You're running into the 10-statement runtime limitation with that do field
'fSum' business.
Easy way to fix that:

Works fine on Suse Linux 10 and Rev 2.6.1 - after I reread your mail and
actually played it properly and clicked the check marks!
You're a lot younger than I imagined you - that picture IS up to date,

Thank all of you for the help.
Although, I have to say that my favourite bit was the
picture comment :)
That photograph was a random kiddo I pulled off the
net - most of my pupils are aged between 6 and 10
years old and don't want a photo of the 44 year-old
goat spoiling their learning
Am I to take it that standalones - however they are
built (!!!) - have constraints placed upon them that
are not placed, for example, on stacks running with a
stack runner variant?
You can test it for yourself by just having a standalone/player
execute this:
