Cross-Platformability

[Marian Petrides]

The other neat thing I found recently is that if your only standalone 
is a simple central hub or splash screen that then runs a series of 
non-standalone stack files you really only have to use distribution 
builder once and can do virtually all your work on your platform of 
choice.

Now that my central hub works as desired, I just create the rest of my 
stack files on the Mac and transport them to PC when they are 
completely done--and I need to make the minor cosmetic changes which 
will fix minor differences in text display, etc between platforms.  
Neat!  I HAD been compiling (making standalone) and porting multiple 
times and t'was a real nuisance.  Now I just give the central hub to my 
users and update only the affected non-standalone stacks.
