I second that thought- for all of those here that have enjoyed the
benefits of Scott's obsessive responsiveness in the past and want to
weigh database options, Valentina really is in many ways the MetaCard

Maybe Scott Raney exhibited great tech support, but no matter how I
look at the current support situation, it doesn't look good, even for a

As I will be offline for the next five days, two remarks:
First, I will follow Richard's advice to ask my questions again next
week when I am back and Rev may have rounded up their new troops by then.
I have done some more benchmarking, which I will report about,
concerning the relative speeds

I won't repeat Wilhelm's comments both to save space and to acknowledge
the fact that I think most of us agree with the general sentiment.
As a long-time supporter of Metacard (MC), I, too, have lamented in
previous posts about the directions that RR has taken. I won't repeat
those either. I

Precisely. Scott is an excellent engineer, but has no illusions about being
a marketer. The buzz is all about Revolution.

To use the current version of the engine with the MC IDE you need to
go to
runrev.com and download a package named "Revolution". You can rename
it to
anything you like, but for communicating with the community as a whole
it
may be less confusing to just use its current name.
I guess this would

Richard,
thanks for the detailed comments and information.
I would also like to add a few details to some points you have made.
First a minor point concerning the terminology:
I still tend to see the engine together with the Metacard IDE as a unity
that deserves the label "Metacard". After al
