CGI for dummies failed

I think that sinks me :-(  The more time I spend on the RunRev site, 
the bigger the hole in the bottom of my boat gets.  I have a bad 
feeling I may have to abandon Metacard altogether.  In looking into 
this CGI thing I've discovered a problem with upgrading to Enterprise 
and may have to abandon the whole plan :-(  I will email them asking 
for verification of my discovery before ranting publicly.  So I'll 
stick to the CGI issue here...

Thank you for trying, though, Jacques.

This is the Free Trial Download page.  There is no BSD player on the 
Player page.  Apparently all of these downloads only work for a short 
time.  I'm not sure how that works, though?  Isn't the registration 
info saved into the Home stack, which would not exist in the CGI 
folder?  Or do these engines run CGI regardless?

I do not have a current license.  My license is for Metacard from 
before the RunRev takeover.  I am waiting for the OSX-Intel-Metacard 
standalone bugs to be worked out before I upgrade my license :-)

(Unless they confirm that bad news I think I found...)
