While I wish to thank all of you for your sound help, a special mention to Rene Micout (no accent on the e) for having clarified the sustantial difference between substacks and stack files.
Have a good day Ton PS. Experience tells me I cannot agree this time with my friend Mark Schonewille; both in the stack uncompiled and in the compiled Windows version of the stack the strings are indeed compressed since no error is reported; only in the compiled Mac version I got the error "string is not compressed". Funny, isn't it? _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
