This is a grab-bag collection of my stacks that people might find interesting or helpful.

Barcodes.rev
A utility that converts text into the ASCII codes to generate Code128 subset A barcodes. You will need a Code128 font to display and print the codes when generated. There are plenty available but I use Riversedge fonts.

BarcodeTester.rev
A very simple stack that reads data from a keyboard wedge barcode scanner. It allows you to check the raw data transmitted by the scanner as well as the ASCII data.

Colors.rev
A demonstration of how to convert colors from RGB to HSV and back again.

EmailEncoder.rev
Utility for encoding email addresses in web pages, so they cannot be read by web crawling robots. Co-authored by Tim Ponn.

KeyCoder.rev
This stack intercepts all keystrokes and display the key codes (ASCII), rawKey codes and modifiers. This is very useful if you need to write any rawKey handlers as you will need to know what codes to check for. It can also be used as an ASCII code translator.

Launch.rev
Rev has a problem with Mac OS X application paths as it doesn't totally understand the way they are really folders. This utility uses a combination of AppleScript and Transcript to get the path to an application so that it can be started or activated using the launch command. Intended for Mac OS X only, but will probably work with other Mac systems.

ResourceCopier.rev
A utility stack which allows you to copy resources from one file to another or to delete unwanted resources. While it was designed to work with Revolution stacks, it can be used for any Mac files containing resources. Remember: make backups before messing with resources! Mac only.

RevDroplet.sit
An AppleScript applet that will change file types and creator codes so that stacks automatically open in Revolution. Drop a file or folder on the applet and it's file type will be changed to 'RSTK' and creator code to 'Revo'. Useful for stacks that have come from Windows or Metacard. Mac only.

RevGZ.rev
This is a stack that uses Rev's built-in compression routines to compress and expand any file. The latest version allows drag & drop but the drag hilighting may not always go away properly if you move off the buttons. It is stored as a zip file, so you can open it first, in order to open all the other gz files.

All my Revolution stacks are gzipped for small & easy downloads. They may unzip with a utility you already have on your system, but if not, download my RevGZ utility which is a Revolution stack that compresses and uncompresses files.

If you feel that any of my stacks or scripts have saved you time, trouble &/or money, perhaps you would like to make a small donation to my PayPal account. I am not including any nagging in these stacks, none of them are crippled - at least not deliberately :-) but your appreciation would encourage further contributions to the Revolution community.
