With a little fear and trepidation I downloaded and installed successfully!
In the introduction it would be reassuiring to say that the existing Rev
installation won't be touched?

In my igorance, which could possibly (but I'm sure unlikely) be shared by
future users, I wrongly selected the:

 "Select a Metacard IDE folder" of the "Choose a Metacard IDE pane.

thinking that this would choose the folder for the new IDE to be installed
into. Silly mistake and it should be easy to see - but perhpas add the word
"existing" => "Select an existing Metacard IDE folder"? Then I got an error,
saying of course there were no stacks in the folder... so I ended up with a
second renamed MC IDE folder, and the toplevel MC engine would not launch.
So I just re-installed.

I got the icon problem - but was easy to fix - is there not a way to do this
in AppleScript - could not find one....

Your feedback was invaluable Ken, and I was very grateful you took the
time. The only thing I couldn't really fix was the icon update glitch
you noticed. If the installation folder is open in the Finder when you
install into it, the "touch" shell command doesn't work. I put a note in
the docs about how to fix the problem after the fact, but I wish OS X
would update on its own.

If the Finder window is closed during the installation there's no
problem. If anyone knows how to fix that, I'll implement it.
