With one critical difference: MetaCard no longer exists as a product. The only engine they can buy is from RunRev and comes with the Rev IDE, which is a little less daunting to some than the more spartan MC IDE. Today MC exists only as an alernate IDE for the handful of us ol' timers who like what it does. The other 95% of Transcript users are working with the Rev IDE, and most serious work on additions is done as plug-ins compatible with both IDEs. So since they need to get the latest engine from RunRev anyway they might as well learn the Rev IDE and avoid the hoop-jumping needed to run the current engine with the MC IDE. I was going to refer you to the press release detailing RunRev's acquisition of the MetaCard engine but I can no longer find it. Anyone know where it is on the runrev.com site? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Media Corporation ___________________________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.FourthWorld.com Tel: 323-225-3717 AIM: FourthWorldInc _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
