Hello.  :)

I have been using MetaCard 2.5 for over a decade now, and, with some free time on my hands, I was wondering what RunRev was up to these days. I must say.. I am impressed! Particularly with all of the new [web] features:

* save stack as revlet and deploy-to-web ;
* free downloadable plugin for revlets ;
* free 'player' of stacks (eg RevMedia) ;
* part to display/manage genuine tables ;
* interact with mySQL databases ;
* rev based web hosting ...

Way to go!  :-)

But how come I haven't heard much/any news about these new [web] features? From all of you mc/rev users, I mean. Do these features really deliver [as promised]? Are Revlets better (perform better) than java-Applets? Or Flash for that matter? Can a revlet write to the user's disk??

Do the revlets do everything a stack can? Are the revlets limited in some way? Do they require a server-side process[es] - CGI, AJAX, or otherwise - to do certain things? If so: basic things? or just extraordinary things?

Any comments on this, or any of the other aforementionned features, would be GREATLY appreciated. :-)

Alain

P.S.: Is this the correct list for this inquiry?
