Is Rev ready for commercial applications?

[Richard D. Miller]

Remaining questions:

1) Will 1.1.1 time out or is it viable for a product?

2) Does that version work fine under Unix? Can it be sold as something that
will work under all Unix systems or does this need to be limited?

Any other issues to be careful of in coming out with a cross-platform
commercial product now?

Thanks.
Richard Miller
