I don't really want to prolong this thread but you guys seem to think that I would want to produce a generic application that allows to run any transcript code user wants, an evil program that will run Rev to bankrupcy.
I hope I didn't give that impression -- there is no way I'd ever suspect that of you. My point was just that eventually somebody would do it if it were possible. Of the folks who currently use Revolution, I don't believe any of us would sabotage Runtime. What I think might be more likely is that someone who hasn't paid for a license would discover that they could use almost any existing standalone to do full development work, if the script restrictions weren't in place. It would be cumbersome and awkward to work within the confines of the commandline, but someone would do it. During my work in the AOL HyperCard forum I saw lots of youngsters do exactly that with the HyperCard player so they wouldn't have to buy HyperCard. There were four or five different versions of HyperCard GUIs that did a fairly effective job of working around the HC player limitations. Those standalones were some of our most-downloaded software. If there is a way around it, they will try.
So no, I wasn't accusing you in any way, or anyone else on this list. I just know after years working with those kids on AOL that if piracy is possible, they will do it.
