Hi Norman,

I'm not sure if I misunderstood something, but I thought REALbasic couldn't create single file executables any more in the latest versions (explanation also to be found on Aaron's very useful blog). Since as far as I know Delphi can still make them, there would have to be a difference in how REALbasic creates it's executables as compared to Delphi. I asked Aaron for clarification on his blog, because I think the difference probably has to do with the fact that Delphi uses either Delphi code, or Windows controls for it's user interface, so the whole user interface can be handled as internal code. REALbasic needs to use it's own set of control for it's user interface to deliver cross platform UI's, and if I understand correctly that's what the appearance pak.dll is all about, so it always has an external dependency.

But maybe I'm wrong, hence the reason I asked for clarification on Aaron's blog.
