In the blog post, Mark states that "The fact that script only stack files

I’ve been trying to work with script only stacks on Mac OS X 10.11 for a few
weeks now, at least since Livecode version 8 dp12. If I open one up in TextEdit
and save it, Livecode gives me the error message: “Unable to open stack: File
is not a stack”. The only way to recover the script has been to copy and paste
it from the text editor into a new script only stack script. Additionally, I’ve
never been able to create one in a text editor from scratch without getting the
same error message from Livecode when I try to open it. I figure I must be
doing something wrong because with the team using these all the time I don’t
see how they wouldn’t have run into this. Any suggestions?
The only thing I can think of to suggest is to make sure that your
editor is saving the file as UTF-16 text.
Usually script-only stacks start with a UTF-16 byte order mark.
