Jeff, There is an alternate way to convert a stack to an application. The folks at Symmetry (writers of HyperDA) have put the functionality of HyperDA into a "Stack Runner", which you then "inject" into your stack to make it into a double-clickable application. Advantage - It creates a comparatively small application, needing only a small MF partition to run. Disadvantage - It can only execute the same subset of HyperTalk as can HyperDA, mostly SHOW, HIDE, GOTO, etc. No fancy stuff. I don't know if they have released this to the commercial market yet, but it can't hurt to ask them. - Robert Campbell - campbell@garnet.berkeley.edu Math Dept, UC Berkeley
