What is the problem you're looking to solve?
My "problem", if it is a problem at all, is that in a perfect world (?) one should
be able to deploy LiveCode apps on all sorts of operating systems and all sorts
of processors; while at the moment one is able to deploy them on a subset of
those available.
That,
Ding an sich, is not a problem . . especially as earlier versions of LiveCode/RunRev
and Metacard ARE available for those systems (such as UNIX and IRIS) which LiveCode saw
fit to abandon (a backward step, possibly), but as LiveCode is NOT, despite its claims,
completely cross-platform compatible, it can be useful for a standalone to work out
what tpe of OS on what type of processor it is running, so that scripts can come into
play that tweak a standalone for specific features that are NOT cross-platform
to come into play.
Which is a fairly long, and fairly pompous, way of stating what should be screamingly
obvious to anyone except those people who enjoy squashing my requests as a way of
sidestepping responsibility.
