As per this above, might also be worth working on a mac with no previous LCC or OXT install
Yeah, Well, it was all very well for Queen Christina of Sweden to have an operation to restore her virginity (mainly because she regretted "learning Philosophy" with Rene Descartes), but I don't have a system that has not already been 'fertilised" by LiveCode that I can afford to return to a pristine state.

Poking around I see that the retro version is derived from a pre-.livecodescript version of LC: so the revMenuBar file is JUST a stack, so, should (in theory: prepare for hollow, horror-film style laugh) be relatively easy to muck about with.

Listen, mate, if you are running on a legacy engine, consider what I am running on at 62: I am considering changing my family name to 'Steam-Punk'.
