Reverting a standalone to a stack
Is it possible to take a compiled standalone and change it back to a stack? (Yes, I somehow missed making a backup and I need to get back in.)

Hi Echo,
nope, this is impossible for us mortals, but I think that RunRev can do this for a fee.

although it doesn't work with every single standalone, somehow. Feel free to send me an e-mail. Not entirely free, though.

Re: Reverting a standalone to a stack
I have a "disassembler" stack I picked up somewhere which extracts the stack file from a Windows standalone for standalones built with v3.5 or earlier. Drop me an email to ambassador@fourthworld.com and I'll pass it along.

Hi guys,
I am not sure, but isn't this (diassembling) illegal according to the fineprint in the Rev license?

Re: Reverting a standalone to a stack
My understanding is that "disassembling" refers to attempting to discern the operations of the engine. In this case, the "disassembler" stack is just undoing what the standalone builder does, pulling the stack file out from its being bound to the engine. The end result gives you nothing you didn't already have (unless you lost your source stack, as seems to be the case here).

Re: Reverting a standalone to a stack
Since the (old) scripts for this are available on the mail list, I don't think it is an issue.

Hi all,
OK, OK, you convinced me!

Re: Reverting a standalone to a stack
You may even be a bit of a devil yourself <g>, but I think it's helpful to ask questions like that to make sure what we're doing is consistent with RunRev's business goals. License terms for most software are complex, and with an open-ended development tool like Rev it doesn't hurt to make sure we consider all the angles before posting tools like that.
