Jack,
If you save a stack as a stack it can be reopened in Rev and revised
but it can not be run by someone who does not have Rev on his
machine. Making a distribution (or standalone) file means that you
now have a double-clickable, self-running application. When you make
a distribution (standalone) you need to specify which platforms you
want the application to run on and then Rev adds a runtime engine to
the stack to make it executable in the absence of Rev on the chosen
platform(s).
A standalone stack can not be opened and edited in Rev, although you
still have the ability to open/edit the original source stack from
which the standalone was constructed.
Speaking of making distributions, can any one tell me why when I take
a stack made on Mac and saved as a file over to Windows and try to
make a distribution on a Windows machine, the option to make a Mac
application is dimmed out EVEN IF I HAVE "DOWNOAD NEEDED FILE CHECKED
(ENABLED)??
Thanks.
Marian
