How would you go about saving a Livecode stack for a Classic Mac?
Save it in the oldest legacy format (2.4) and run it with the
last-available classic engine.
I would be jolly nice if RunRev could make the last classic version (or
at least standalone builder)
available to those of us who have mislaid our versions 1.1.1. and 2.0.1.
Version 4.0, looks like. If you had a valid license for that version,
you can redownload it. If it isn't in your store account, ask support
for a download link.
I have version 4.0 from the Edinburgh conference; to be honest (and I am
at work where I only have access to RunRev 2.2.1 free for Linux) I seem
to remember that although the standalone had a setting for a Mac OS 9,
a.k.a. "Classic" build, it was wonky in some way.
Unfortunately I seem to have mislaid RR 2.0.1 which is, to my mind, the
version that built Mac OS 9
standalones with a minimum of hiccups.

I am currently negotiating to get 3 slot-loading G3 iMacs shipped to me
that a university who have asked not to be named had kept, brand new, in
boxes for some 10 years, until I wrote to them asking if they were
"still in that cupboard": as they have fairly low RAM specs I am
wondering if I might be better to run them on OS 9 rather than OS 10.4
(the last Mac OS one can use on a slot-loading G3 iMac).
I am also in touch with a co-student of mine who is running some sort of
tin-shack school in Botswana
and has had a whole lot of tray-loading G3 iMacs dumped on him; he has
got them up and running
with Mac OS 9, and I should very much like to give him Classic
standalone versions of all the EFL
stuff I have developed for use in my school here in Bulgaria.

I cannot see why RunRev should object to releasing old versions of
RR/LC; certainly anybody building
standalones for Mac Classic (me, myself and I ???) cannot be said, by
downloading old versions, to
be eating into the profits of RunRev as current versions of LC don't
build Classic standalones (and,
I suppose, very soon, they will stop building PPC standalones).
I have mentioned this possibility here and elsewhere quite a few times,
without any response whatsoever from RunRev.
