RunRev seems to not use that mechanism. I don't seem to be able to open and view my stack in RunRev or even in a text editor now that it's in a standalone. It's not encrypted or anything. It's just a small stack converted to standalone.

Not that I'm aware of; I've just spent a few minutes mucking around 
inside a Mac OS standalone package,
getting nowhere.

That is why, for my Devawriter application, I have about a gigabyte of 
previous version stacks in zip files
taking up space.

What you could do, if you deleted the source stack recently, is do run 
an 'undelete' program to see if the stack
is still lurking, invisibly on your hard disks . . .
