It's 17th October, 2007. Bob goes into his studio and turns on his
Ubuntu computer. As soon as Ubuntu is up and running, a little yellow
icon appears in the top right-hand corner of his screen. He clicks on
it, and Ubuntu tell him that there are some software updates for him to
download. He gladly accepts, and within a short time, the updates are done.
The first thing Bob does is to go into his system settings. He makes
Opera his default browser, rather than Firefox. He has a lot of MHTs to
display, and Opera is the only browser capable of displaying them. In
fact, Bob uses MHTs not only for compiling Help files and the like, but
in many circumstances he uses them instead of the old Word documents
nowadays. Not only are they more versatile for general use, but Bob
likes them because he can easily superimpose text on background images.
And of course all the HTML content and image data is contained within a
single file for easy distribution.
So now Bob wants to see whether the default Opera browser is used
successfully in the revBrowser example stack provided by Runtime
Revolution. He opens it up, runs it, and clicks on the appropriate
button. Damn! It didn't work. But before he has a chance to get too
disappointed, he notices that the "Rev Online" icon at the top of his
IDE screen is dancing up and down. He clicks on it and sees the
following message:
"Hello! Runtime Revolution here. We have some crucial update patches for
your IDE. Do you want to download them?"
Bob downloads the patches, re-starts his IDE, and opens up the
revBrowser example stack again. Lo and behold, there is a beautiful
display of an MHT shown in an Opera-based browser. The patches worked!
