Fair enough... I guess my question would be- without a "player"
application, does ANYONE distribute stacks and not standalones to a
paying client that would care about the IDE issues in this thread? My
(perhaps naive) assumption is that either your finished product goes to
a client that doesn't want or need a development environment with it,
or else you must be using it in a suitable environment where minor IDE
eccentrics wouldn't be a big deal...
