Hi Gregg,


No page. I am looking to distribute a stand alone

projector which needs to read and write text files.

I have researched Director and don't feel it is a

viable alternative.


On the Applet issue, since it will be a stand

alone program, as opposed to one delivered over

the internet and run in a browser environment,

file i/o is fine.


Thanks,

John Andrew Morrison
