We haven't made clear one crucial point about Rev Online. Uploading of stacks will only be available to license holders. In order to get a key to upload, you will have to have a paid up license for Revolution, so we know who you are. Not too many hackers are going to ante up for the privilege of messing with your computer and if they do, we'll catch them immediately. Revolution Online will only be available in browse mode to users of the trial versions. For this round of testing only, we've made it open to all. As such, you should be duly cautious about anything you download if you don't recognise the poster - unlikely to have problems since we're only publicising the beta to this group but you never know. It's also worth noting that the Player is much more secure when run in "SecureMode". If you still see a problem by all means tell us though, we don't want any foreseeable problems to catch us unawares, Regards, Heather -- ** For a faster response to all licensing, support, and technical issues, please now send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ** Heather Nagey ~ [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ http://www.runrev.com/ Runtime Revolution - User-Centric Development Tools Tel +44 (0) 870 747 1165 Fax +44 (0) 845 4588487 ~~~ Check our web site for new Revolution editions & special offers ~~~ _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
