Wonderful news, Jacque - I know I'm only lurking here
on this list, and am using Revolution aés my main
working environment, but I've always been intrigued by
Metacard and the power hidden under its 'spartan' user
interface.
Since I don't have any previous Metacard license
(though I do have a Revolution Enterprise license),
what exacly should I do to create a Metacard 2.8.1?
I imagine I could open your .mc stack using Revolution
and push a button there, or is it slightly more
complicated?

Thanks in advance,

Jan Schenkel.
