Klaus Major and you participated in that discussion as did others.

Building the new standalone builder a bit complex, but not impossible.
I had some personal problems at that time that prevented me from doing so!

> Could you possibly point out where we could find this "necessary info" from Oliver Canyon, if it was available it surely escaped me?. This and the difficulties of Klaus - there are other reasons as I understand and deplore on the side of Klaus - led me to assume that there unfortunately had *not* been sufficient information from the RunRev side to build a new MC-compatible standalone builder

I received the neccessary infos from scotland but this is of course nothing that should go into a public mailing list,
so I did not publish this info!

Adding support for iOS (and RevMoile in general) was explicitely NOT allowed to be put into the MC standalone builder
due to licensing issues! At least that was the state about a year ago, don't know how this is today.

But Ken knows about this and will check this with Heather before taking any action in this direction!
