I used both before making the choice. I was told that both programs used the same engine, so both could do the same things. Both had the same capability. RunRev had a lot of added features regarding the programming environment. A message box that allowed multiple lines. A control browser that let you sort the data in different ways. Programming shortcuts. A better help system. But the underlying ability, as far as I was told, was the same in both programs. Whatever you could make one do, you could make the other do. It was a tough choice, as RunRev did have so many more features that made programming easier. But for me, RunRev was very unstable. It crashed and burned so many times in a single day, and whatever work hadn't been saved yet went poof. Saving was required literally after every single change, every added word. I decided that the features were not worth the crashes. It froze constantly, requiring a hard restart of my computer. That sucks a lot of time, plus it's something I try to avoid having to do. Surely it can't be good to do that several times a day. As I create programs that I distribute, I have to have an environment that I can trust. If it crashes and burns for me, no doubt it will do that to the people who use my programs, and that is not acceptable. So I chose Metacard. -- --Shareware Games for the Mac-- http://www.gypsyware.com http://www.gypsygames.com _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
