I wasn't aware that the Rev Starter Kit came with substantially different
docs than the full product version of Rev.
The full Rev product has the third most comprehensive documentation for a
4GL -- the first two weren't profitable, with documentation costs cited as a
significant contributing factor.
All of Director's documentation combined has less content than the Rev
language guide alone.
Which programming systems would cite as good examples for Rev to follow?
