[ANN} Zygodact - complete serial key registration system

[Dave]

Hi,

In every RR based application I've shipped as a Standalone, the  
Structure I've used is to have one "Main" Stack that holds the  
standalone settings (basically just a dummy "Splash" Screen Window)  
and a number of "Stacks" (that are also main stacks as far as RunRev  
is concerned) that are held inside a subfolder. The Splash Window the  
does a "go" to one of the stacks in the subfolder, e.g.

AppFolder:
Spash.app
           SubFolder:
           Stack1.rev
           Stack2.rev
           Stack3.rev

Can Zygodact handle this situation? Also, does it password protect  
the stacks too? Or just prevent the standalone from running?

All the Best
Dave
