The humble Substack

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Cal,

When you save a standalone, all stacks are still stacks. The mainstack 
and its substacks are attached to the engine, but they are still the 
same stacks. The code is compiled when the engine opens the stack. The 
compiled version exists in memory only and not on disk. This is the same 
for all stacks, be it stacks that are part of a standalone, substacks or 
separate stack files.
