RunRev supplies versions of Rev which can be remotely installed on most commercial servers, which is what we have done on some of ours, which happen to be Linux based. This then allows the application to function as CGI from that server. The server facility does not need to buy a copy, nor do any configuration to support this - we do the entire thing as a remote process. Rev then functions similarly to Perl or PHP. But it is a different beast than normal Rev. It does not support GUI for one thing, so developing for it is a bit different than developing for the normal Rev standalone. As far as I know, standalones won't function from most commercial servers. All that said, Bill is right that if your application wants to make use of server ports which are not traditionally supplied to you in a shared server contract, you will probably need to lease a private server. -- Troy RPSystems, LTD www.rpsystems.net _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
