Yes! Precisely.

I built the standalone using that stack using Rev 3, but running it  
under 2.6.1 on a G4 with OS 9.2.1. I suppose I should transfer the  
Legacy saved stack over to the G4 and build the standalone under 2.6.1  
- assuming that will work. Hadn't even thought of that. Now that I  
have everything on my Intel Mac with a very large monitor, I hate it  
when I have to do anything on the G4, but that sure makes sense. Thanks.
