Evidently, this rigamarole is part of the security apparatus for IE  
7! And all I'm doing is running my app from my own Mac Mini server on  
my own local network!

So how does it work with a Rev/MC application? What is it that you  
(the Rev/MC developer) do? How is it applied to, or included in, an  
exe? Does it expire every year on published software (it's a yearly  
license, $100-$400 per year for the developer - but it is  
incorporated (somehow) in the code of an application - and I presume  
that once "digitally signed", the application stays "signed" forever;  
but why would a developer have to keep renewing? or is that just the  
price of keeping with the program?) Either way, it feels to me like  
extortion!

Not that I could afford it,
