How about incorporating DLLs and other objects? I have seen references to incorporating "externals" and Altuit even has a browser component that looks quite good. Are there any pointers to documentation on that?
As mentioned on http://runrev.com/Revolution1/keyfeatures1.html There is a reported SDK for creating these externals.... Ah just did a google search for runrev external sdk pointing to http://lists.runrev.com/pipermail/use-revolution/2003-June/016976.html which points back to Metacards starter kit http://www.metacard.com/get.html which includes the download for the SDK files. I don't see much documentation yet on getting started but maybe that'll help for the UNIX based Rev apps as well.

There could be Unix implementations of COM but it is generally a MS Windows-only tech. AFIAK Rev can't do COM, Windows or not, without some fancy C external writing. For interprocess communication on Unix one might expect TCP/IP or shared memory or pipes and processes. Or CORBA or other "ORB"s (object request brokers). Revolution has TCP/IP and open process support. But not shared memory or the others.
