"Seamless Tiles 2" stack updated

[Wilhelm Sanke]

Just uploaded a slightly updated version of the "Seamless Tiles 
Generator 2" to

<http://www.sanke.org/Software/SeamlessTiles2.zip>

See the descriptions on page "Sample Stacks" on my website 
<http://www.sanke.org/MetaMedia>.

Among other things this stack features an improved resizable and 
draggable selection graphic that lets you choose a segment of any size 
from the imported source image  to create a seamless tile.

The ink of the selection graphic needed to be adapted both to the 
differences between Windows and MacOS and the stackfileversions 2.4 and 2.7.

With engine versions < 2.7 we need "admin" for MacOS and "srcAnd" for 
Windows. For engine versions  2.7 and higher "srccopy" is necessary for 
both platforms to show a transparent graphic.

Moreover, I have changed the stack extension from "*.mc" to "*.rev", to 
enable users of Rev 3.0 to see and load the stack.

See the quote of my earlier post (to the Metacard- and Improve-lists) 
concerning  this special problem:
