Automated setup file uploaded

[David Bovill]

With a little fear and trepidation I downloaded and installed successfully!
In the introduction it would be reassuiring to say that the existing Rev
installation won't be touched?

In my igorance, which could possibly (but I'm sure unlikely) be shared by
future users, I wrongly selected the:

  "Select a Metacard IDE folder" of the "Choose a Metacard IDE pane.

thinking that this would choose the folder for the new IDE to be installed
into. Silly mistake and it should be easy to see - but perhpas add the word
"existing" => "Select an existing Metacard IDE folder"? Then I got an error,
saying of course there were no stacks in the folder... so I ended up with a
second renamed MC IDE folder, and the toplevel MC engine would not launch.
So I just re-installed.

I got the icon problem - but was easy to fix - is there not a way to do this
in AppleScript - could not find one....
