The file format changed in Rev 2.7. If you want to build an OS 9 
standalone using Rev 3.5, you need to save the stack in legacy format 
(there's an option in the Save dialog for that.) If you don't, the 2.6.1 
engine can't read the 2.7 file format, which I think is why your 
original standalone wouldn't launch.
