Sorry Jim, but I have to disagree with you here. I *used* to think the
same.
With the new directory structure supported by Rev 2.7, where is the
recommended place to store stacks and libraries that have heretofore said
they should be installed in the same folder as the Rev app? This clearly
won't work well as upgrades take place with the new way Rev handles updates.
