Our RegEx engine is PCRE.
Revolution complies native, double-clickable single-file executables for Mac, Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, Linux PPC, and all popular breeds of Unix, including Solaris, BSD and more. It can also run facelessly on all platforms except Mac OS 9, allowing you to do background tasks such as server side CGI processing. Our RegEx engine is has been integrated since version 1.0. >> Also is there any information on the speed in which revolution can process >> info with regular expressions?

There are different forms of compilation, and Revolution is technically a compiled language, not an interpreted one. It virtually compiles and is ready to run instantly. Its performance is still similar to that of REALBasic. One or other may be faster in certain areas, but they are in the same ballpark performance wise. Revolution also allows editing on all supported platforms, REALBasic does not. Revolution is royalty free.
