Standalone Error Dialog

[Peter Haworth]

Folks,
For some reason, I haven't been seeing some of the messages on this thread,
but I found them on the mail archive, starting with Richard's telling me
about the errorDialog message.

My goals are relatively modest, just wanting to report the version (from
the uRIP custom property set of course), platform, and possibly the
executionContexts.

Mark, from your comment it sounds like the revErrorDisplayStack that
contains the custom property error message info isn't included in
standalones?  I've gravitated away from using the savingStandalone message
in favor of a release prep stack for each of my products so I could easily
include something to take care of that.

Thanks to all for pointing me in the right direction.
