Metacard 4

[Wilhelm Sanke]

This may have been already noticed here, I just want to make sure:

The Rev "Standalone" files - necessary to build standalones - of 
versions 4 dp3 and dp4 do not work with the Metacard Standalone Builder. 
Version 3.5 does.

I experience this on Windows, but did not test on MacOS.

We need to make sure (Klaus?) that the final version 4.0 *will* be 
compatible with our Standalone Builder.

Concerning Richmond's assessment of Metacard:

Please, take look at my two contributions to the recent thread 
"Practical limits on object counts" on the use-revolution list.

For a number of - maybe very personal - reasons I do roughly 95 % 
percent of my development in the Metacard IDE.
