Sorry, I keep forgetting who on this list has a Linux background and who 
doesn't. I was wondering about the Mac having X; too lazy to go 
downstairs to where the kids have the Mac and check.  Anyway, I saw the 
shell commands at the front of the file, and since I knew "mc" wasn't 
installed on Linux, I never tried executing a .rev file.  I just assumed 
you had to load it with the IDE or else make a distribution file.

I still don't like the binary .rev file format. I could probably get 
used to it if RR would document the format, but they refuse.  I asked.
