OK, very helpful... yes. turns out the problems (2) have nothing to do with Rev at all, the second one, which you noted is a Mac OS issue, and the other one is A windows issue.

First problem was a collusion between myself and Windows: Incredible as it may seem for an OS backed by a multi-billion dollar corp... I made a small error in my html file " a href="audio_transcriber.rev" but, the actual file is

"audio_transcriber.rev.zip"

OK, so... Internet explorer, instead of giving back a 404 which it should... ignores the fact that my html anchor is missing the .zip extension and proceeds to download:

"audio_transcriber.rev.zip"

Which, one could consider helpful... BUT!

saves it to disk as

"audio_transcriber.rev" !!

Of course my player won't open it... it's still a compressed file, but the Windows OS doesn't know it... as they say in Tamil "Aiyo~!" (exasperation...) and on XP there doesn't seem to be any indication that this is a zipped file... I only intuited this and told my beta man on the Windows side "try renaming and add .zip the the existing file name" which he did, viola! XP now understands "oh, this is a zip file" changes the icon... after decompression the stack runs just fine under 2.2.RC1 standalone..

case closed, rev is fine...

The Department of Homeland Security made the right decision to go with Macs..

If you compressed the Windows app on a Mac running Panther and using the
built-in "Create Archive" function, this will happen. I have instead chosen
to use Aladdin's DropZip instead, FYI.
