FOA thank for your help...
But, imho that cant be the problem, because its builded fine for the 
not so intuitiv Linux. I have no idea about that OS...?
Do I really have to go deep into OSX/unix to build a distribution with 
rev..?
Does this help me to save the problem with the coyright and the icons 
which are lost or not installed?

But the most important point is, that it worked fine, like expected, 
with rev 2.0...

Maybe you are right, but do I have to do this to work with rev?
I m very, very patient... but once, after years of waiting I would like 
to have a tool which does one of his main features,  without forcing me 
to graduate in Unix...;)

Thanks a lot for that, i m not familiar with that, but I ll have a look 
at it.

Finally why I have bought rev and not MC some years ago... - the easier 
UI it was... - was it that..?
