Hi Jim,
I only triedthe stackrunner today. The stack runner is a great
addition. Two things I spotted:
(1) The downloads size are in reality 4.9 for the dreamcard player
and 1.3 for the stackrunner. The dreamcard player application is
accompanied by a components directory which is 5.7 MB big.
(2) The stack runner will automatically start any application called
main.rev in the same directory. This means that you can very easily
distribute your stack to others, without having to explain anything.
Just rename the stackrunner app to your program name. For instance,
run_this.app. Then instruct any user to click twice on this file and
the job is done. That's a lot lot easier to demo anything, distribute
to students, or attract new users.
Many thanks for this, Ken! A great addition for the education commmunity

PS. Jim, your last "shapeline" stack is really nice, really nice.

StackRunner.htm
Ken,
Thanks for the Runner. I love the simplicity.
I have had no occasion to use DreamCard so I'm not familiar with its
limitations. (I can see occasions when I would prefer DreamCard--or
StackRunner--to building an app. It would be most helpful working
with a user during the development stages. Updates would consist only
of the new stack without the need to continually carry the baggage of
the full application.)
But help me out a bit. StackRunner comes in at 3.6 megs, and
DreamCard at 2.1 megs.
What are the differences and when would one choose StackRunner and
when DreamCard?
Thanks again for all you do for the Rev community.
Jim
