Lurking on my hard drives, somewhere, are various versions of Runtime
Revolution: 2.0.1 backwards -
that allowed one to make stacks, and standalones from those stacks, as
long as each object contained
no more than 10 lines of code.
I developed a CD for musical instruction in Scottish schools (got badly
"diddled" by the person
whi hired me; but that is another story), the Agent-led GUI for my MSc
thesis, and a CD for
Bulgarian school-kids to prep for their Bulgarian literature exams with
RR 2.0.1. As I do not, currently, own any version of RunRev post 2.0.1
(except for the totally
free 2.2.1 version put out by Novell a few years back) that is capable
of producing standalones,
on the very few occasions I have had to produce standalones for either
Mac or Windows I have
used 2.0.1.
revMedia 4B is both "better" and "worse" if compared with RunRev 2.0.1:
it can tolerate
unlimited lines of code (I know, I've been up to my eyeballs in lengthy,
extremely tedious
scripts recently), but cannot produce standalones.
