Just a note:
My methodology for decompress() is to

try
  put decompress(var) into var
end try

This will move smoothly through your script flow.

Hi Ton,

Mainstack.app is a folder! Right-click on it and choose "Show Packet Contents" from the popup menu. You should find your substack if you dig deeper in the nested folders inside Mainstack.app.

You may *think* that you are decompressing compressed data, but if Rev tells you it isn't compressed, then there is a problem with the data for sure. You might want to add a few checks, e.g. to make sure that the variable is not empty and that it actually contains the data you expect it to contain. You might write the data to a file right before executing the decompress function and check what is in that file.

Dear friends,

what I still do not understand, in spite of your kind reactions and hints, is why, after compiling, I get a stack.exe and a substack.rev in Windows (both working perfectly), but only a mainstack.app in Mac.

As to the error reports, they do not seem to be related:

141,91,17
465,91,1

that is, "string is not compressed data", which it certainly is both in Windows and in Mac (before compiling).

I believe this is quite odd and look forward to your insights.

Cheers to you all,

Ton
