Ok, with the recent anger expressed, and with me being a new guy on the block, let me ask some questions: - What's the size of the company behind this product? You don't have to give precise numbers, but somebody must know if this company is - a thousand people - doubt it, a hundred people - still probably doubt it, at least dozens of people - probably, and I hope, or one or two people - I don't hope this is the case. - What are the support options? Do we get 100% of support via the dialog in this forum, or is there a way to contact a tech support team at the company and occasionally get a good answer? - What's the frequency of the release of minor levels and major levels of the software? - Are people out there making a livelihood using this product nearly exclusively, or is this rare to nonexistent? Thanks. [I'm a long time developer, and I have used Many tools and languages, and while this thing doesn't look like the tool for All jobs, it does look like The Tool for some jobs. So, I start out my journey here enthusiastically until someone tells me otherwise.] Frank ____________________________________________________________________

Complaining, making threats and playing the role of the disgruntled customer won't go as far here as calm discussion. Please be careful about dissing Runrev in particular - your careless comments could scare away lurkers - potential runrev users (and therefore a healthier business, with continued development, etc). I have no doubt that you will find help in this place within hours. The best scripters in the world hang out here. This stage (OUTRAGE+Confusion) is typical of one's self-education in using rev. Either it will be fixed in the next revision or we write a thing to go around it for now. As far as I'm concerned the gains in using this erector set far outweighs any glitches I encounter. Are you angry enough to write your own Menu Maker? It can be done. >What Gives? Why is this SUCH a difficult thing to do in RunRev?
