New Classic Standalone with 2.9.0

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Well, if anyone else has been able to make a Classic standalone,  
either from a new Rev Stack or from a HC stack that has been opened as  
a Rev Stack, I'd sure like to hear about it. On my Mac Pro Running  
Leopard and G4 running OS 9.2.2 I have not been able to achieve it. On  
my last efforts, the unzipped files did not even show an application  
Icon, though I did have the APPL and ???? file types set. The  
Universal Binary versions worked fine on the Mac Pro and showed the  
appropriate icons. Prior to zipping the two apps I tried, when double  
clicking them, they were recognized as Classic apps. I suppose the  
problem has to be in the transfer, but I've had no problems with other  
application and document transfers made in this same way. A little  
discouraging.
