setup Revolution on the server.

The people I am developing a stack for have indicated an interest in 
having web based educational materials, so if they want it, they will 
HAVE to find a way to get my stack access.

I do have a question about Bjornke's post (appended below):

Am I understanding Bjornke correctly in thinking that if I distribute a 
small splash screen executable and then have the other (non-standalone) 
stacks on the server, Bjornke's solution (using go stack url) will 
allow the splash screen standalone stack to execute the non-standalone 
stacks?
