Hi Ken,
Right this minute I don't even remember what the difference(s)
between Type 1 and Type 2 "is/are". And the cross platform thing is
beginning to "cool" as far as I'm concerned. Too many difficulties
for me, personally, to make it worthwhile. Besides, I've always
preferred to just support the Mac OSs.
I know that Rev doesn't think the OS9 market is worth diddling with,
but I'm far more anxious to be able to create Classic apps than
Windows or Linux. I think it is "huge" - relatively speaking of
course. And who knows, I suspect that a lot of older Macs running OS9
are being recycled.
BTW, my externals are not just simple little ditties; each one does a
lot, often maxing-out the 32k limit.

Ken,
I, too, have a number of HC stacks that I wish to convert to
Revolution; however most of them use XCMDs and XFNs that I created
with Compile-it. They are all well tested, having been used by
businesses everyday for about 12 years. Do you know if they can be
used in Revolution stacks and then in the standalone?
Well, only if you are deploying to OS 9, and only if they were Type 1,
not Type 2 XCMDs/XFCNs. That said, however, it is very rare that there
is an external that I've run across where I couldn't encapsulate the
same functionality using a custom Transcript function. And doing so
would make it completely cross-platform and OS X compatible, so it is
the best way to go, IMHO.
