Corruption from Images

Hi Richard, thanks for that terrific essay. In principle I understand 
what you mean. How can a person tell if an "image object" is actually 
corrupting the stack?  I never got any corruption messages from 
Revolution, and never even thought of corruption until Ken found it. 
Revolution happily ran the stack in the IDE, built both the OS X and 
Windows apps without comment, and the OS X application runs fine. 
The only hint of trouble came when the Windows app had reached it 
destination and couldn't be opened. I wonder if there is any way to 
get a hint of impending trouble during the compilation or during the 
build?

  It would indeed have been easier to just remove the objects, but it 
didn't kill me to rewrite the stack either.  Whatever those wacky 
image objects were didn't get included.

I'm going to follow up the reading you supplied.
