DLLs

[Dan Friedman]

Chipp,

I checked the externals of the stack and it looks fine.  When I save and
rerun it, it works fine.  Even in a standalone.  However, if I move the
standalone to another directory, it fails -- even though I am setting the
externals to the correct path, then closing and reopening the stack.

What I did was create an "engine" stack that opens the stack file of my
project.  When I did that, everything started to work!  (No code was changed
in the project stack) It would seem to me that RR doesn't want you to change
the externals of a stack in a standalone (at lease the main stack).  I could
be out to lunch, but at lease it's working now.

Thank you for the suggestion/reply.
