Mac Classic standalones

[Jeffrey Reynolds]

Thanks for the confirmations! at least im not nutz, well dont talk to 
my friends.

some more fiddling makes it look like messages like openstack and 
opencard and such are not being sent by the stack when the actions 
happen. i rigged some buttons to send those messages on cards and i 
could get a lot of my functionality working again. mouse clicks and 
mouseenter and mouseleave appear to be being sent when you are on a 
card. so if you rely on setting up a lot of things with openstack and 
opencard (or cleanup with closecard) this just wont happen when you 
make the 25 os9 build from 26 osx authoring.

is it kosher to take a 26 stack created with osx 26 rev authoring and 
open it in osx rev 251 authoring to do the os9 build? I dont think i am 
doing anything feature/call wise that is 26 specific at all in my 
scripts. these programs are kept simple on purpose to make them as 
bullet proof and error free as possible. I am doing quicktime movies, 
but only doing things that i have been doing for years in mc/rev, 
nothing fancy call wise that hasn't been there for the last 4 years or 
so.

I am in a bit of a bind here since i need to ship a product in the next 
month with an os9 build along with the osx and xp builds. the osx and 
xp are working great... Since much of this code was used in an os9 
build last year i had little worry that it was going to do anything 
strange until i tried to make the standalone, should have done this 
earlier, just got in a rush in all the production phases...

cheers,

jeff
