Just for fun, I tried installing runrev on a volume that is not my boot volume. (Non-boot volumes in Mac OS X tend to be given the permissions of the logged in user. This is fundamentally wrong, but the way it is, at least for the present.) That worked. I can log in as any user and runrev starts up just fine from the non-boot volume. Thinking about the license, I'm not sure that's what the folks at runrev wanted either. -- Joel Rees, programmer, Kansai Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
