Standalone - Using stack as DB

[Eric Chatonet]

Bonjour Peter,

Actually, splash stack architecture is the best one because it allows  
you to run you app/exe and Rev IDE simultaneously with the same project.
You test the app and correct in the IDE: at next launch of the app,  
you'll use changes made in the IDE because most of your code is not  
in the splash stack but in separate stack files. e.g. without having  
to rebuild an app/exe.

Now as for user data, external files are a good choice but you can  
use stacks also assuming there is not any code in these stacks and  
they are simple containers you are able to restore (from a template  
stack kept in a custom property for instance).
