More info on this:
I tried to open my HA Stack Player standalone, built for PPC, on my OSX machine. Of course, Classic started up first, but then, the standalone did not boot: no error msg. Same thing if Classic is up and running first.
Should standalones build for Mac PPC run in the OSX Classic shell or not?
I'm having trouble getting anything to run on older Mac 9.2 machines... Today I'm going to copy the standalone to a CD and give that to a mac ppc user, just to eliminate .sit compression issues.
But, shouldn't it run in Classic? I'm thinking, perhaps the fact that it does not run in Classic shows there is a problem, which is also the cause for it's failure in 9.2.
I have these start ups in the stack script:
on preopenstack set the loc of this stack to the screenloc hide btn "Stack Index" end preopenstack
on openstack
put url "http://www.himalayanAcademy.com/runrev/versionControl.txt"; into tCheckVersion
If item 1 of line 1 of tCheckVersion = "HA Stack Player" then
show button "Stack Index"
if item 2 of tCheckVersion <> (the engineVersion of this stack) then
upgradeNotice
end if
end ifend openStack
Could the attempt to access the net, should it fail, on 9.2, cause the application to lock up? (But, it's failing to boot in Classic even if I am connected)
If I disconnect from the network in OSX.. and boot the same stack... obviously it can't do an http GET, but it doesn't cause the app to lock up.

Yes, it was compressed as .sit but it unstuffs to the point of appearing correctly on the desk top as an unstuffed .rev file... then unexpectedly quits on boot.. (in classic)
Are you say that even if it unstuffs and outputs an apparently unstuffed file that an old Stuffit could have created a bad file?... OK, will just have to try it.
As for Monte's and Andre's recommendations... it doesn't even get that far..
Thanks.

How do I diagnose and solve this problem? I only need to focus on a) above for now (mac, classic PPC) because the Windows user bailed on the project out of frustration...
Was it compressed as an ".sit"? If so maybe an updated of stuffit is needed.
