The substance of our discussion had to do with what's coming, not the location of a document. > Most of the engine changes since the older version at > <ftp.metacard.com> have been for native appearances and other > goodies that have no effect when running in faceless mode. > Also, MetaCard Corp. supported far more platforms than > RunRev, so if your server runs Solaris, BSD, or one of the > other flavors Rev is no longer compiled for you can still > enjoy Transcript on your server with the old tried-and-true engine.

Now Rich, you arent the sort who gets enraged when he sees Grateful Dead stickers on SUVs, right?:-) This is something that's been on my mind for quite some time. I don't know who was there first but, there was also the abortive FlameThrower for SuperCard. And of course its also on the minds of folks at runtime, very much so - there is a forum set up specifically for this topic here: http://forums.runrev.com/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=11 Since RevConWest 2006 is coming up, it might be a good topic for discussion as well there. > PS: What is "eurotalk"?

See what happens grandpa, when yur jaw'in on the porch, playing checkers and reminicin'? Eurotalk is a European partner of Runtime's for TTT sales - its irrelevant for purposes RR.
