"Going to be" cross-platform? Check here:

Hmm... what about a Rev runtime for .net? I think .net will be available for Windows Mobile soon (is it already?), so a .net runtime version would automatically provide support for software on Windows Mobile, Windows itself (2000+, correct?), and apparently Mono-supported platforms as well (various flavors of Linux, plus OS X more or less -- more soon, I hope) -- and possibly even future platforms which don't even exist yet!

Dear Chipp
An "externals external" would be great. Something that could expose the functions and type requirements in standard windows dlls or *nix .so shared library (and their OSX equivalents).
As is already the case in C#, Java or some of the flavors of Basic, you could then import these functions directly into transcript something like ...
externalHandle = altuitUseExternal("mylib.dll")
IMHO runrev really needs a more accessible interface to the vast wealth of shared libraries that exist out there, without having to write wrappers for every new library you want to use. I would love to be able to use OpenGL from within rev for example and create interactive 3D viewports on my rev stacks.
OT: Wouldn't it be great to have .NET bindings for rev, especially since it seems that .NET is going to be a genuinely cross-platform runtime (please no Java Vs. .NET flames or any other anti-MS invective - I'm no great fan of MS, but it seems that they've finally done something right with .NET)

http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolutionThe recent altBrowser bundle offering was a success thanks to RR users all over the world. A personal thank-you from Chris and I for all of your support. And thanks to RunRev for an excellent job of helping to get the word out.
We're currently working on a free upgrade for altBrowser (both Mac and PC) which we hope will be out next week.
So, this got Chris and I thinking about other externals. Before we started, we wanted to get some feedback from RR users as which externals you would like to see. Keep in mind, they need to be cross-platform, and they need to have some sort of mass market appeal.
Here are a couple of ideas we have:
1) USB external support. That about says it all right there!
2) Image Effects library. The ability to import/export many different formats, apply special effects like dropped shadows, borders, sharpen and blur and more.
If you have any other ideas, please let us know, either on this list or off.
Thanks again!
