Mac OS classic client vxcmd

[Chris Sheffield]

Don,

There's a bit of a trick to make it work that is not documented very  
well.

There is a CODE resource that has to be copied to your stack file in  
order for things to work correctly.  So you'll need a couple things.   
A copy of ResEdit and the example file that comes with the VXCMD  
download.  That file has a .mc extension if I remember correctly.

Open your stack and the .mc file in ResEdit.  You'll see the CODE  
resource in the .mc file.  Copy that into your own stack and save.  
Then put the VXCMD into your application's directory (or into the  
Revolution 2.6.1 directory if in the IDE), and everything should  
work.  Your built standalone should also work so long as you don't  
include another resource file.  If you do, copy the CODE resource to  
that other resource file and it'll get built into the standalone  
automatically.

Hope that helps,
Chris
