> libeay32.dll
> External/revbrowser.dll
> External/rev...
> External/database_drivers/dbmysql.dll

> go stack URL http://myserver/stack.rev in a new window

> I rename this start.exe as project1.exe, put project1.rev in the same
> folder with the dlls and the External folder and it works.
> I only make a new standalone, if a new runrev version is published and I
> need it. In the normal case I just copy my start.exe as a loader to the
> actual project.rev.
> And they always find the revBrowser External ... therefore I guess this

> 2) doku "external"
> Examples:
> set the externals of stack "Apps" to field "Executables"
> 
> Use the externals property to use the externals in the specified files.
> Value:
> The externals of a stack reports a list of file paths, one per line.
> Comments:
> Each line of the externals specifies the name and location of a file
> containing external commands and external functions. If you specify a name
> but not a location, the file is assumed to be in the defaultFolder.
