If this W/B product can be encapsulated into a Revolution stack then it
might be of use.
Personally, in my old age, I'm trying to get away from DLLs, xcmds, and

So, I would rather see what can be done with Revolution not PHP and MySql.
Saving the watched set with the object is useful, because you may
have more than one project you are working on and debugging. It is
nice to start up where you left off --when rev crashes due to some
horrible bug in your code.
