Problems with 2.2RC1 Files?

[Sannyasin Sivakatirswami]

OK, very helpful... yes. turns out the problems (2) have nothing to do 
with Rev at all, the second one, which you noted is  a Mac OS issue, 
and the other one is A windows issue.

First problem was a collusion between myself and Windows: Incredible as 
it may seem for an OS backed by a multi-billion dollar corp... I made a 
small error in my html file " a href="audio_transcriber.rev"  but, the 
actual file is

"audio_transcriber.rev.zip"

OK, so... Internet explorer, instead of giving back a 404 which it 
should... ignores the fact that my html anchor is missing the .zip 
extension and proceeds to download:

"audio_transcriber.rev.zip"

Which, one  could consider helpful... BUT!

saves it to disk as

"audio_transcriber.rev"   !!

Of course my player won't open it... it's still a compressed file, but 
the Windows OS doesn't know it... as they say in Tamil "Aiyo~!"  
(exasperation...) and on XP there doesn't seem to be any indication 
that this is a zipped file... I only intuited this and told my beta man 
on the Windows side "try renaming and add .zip the the existing file 
name" which he did, viola! XP now understands "oh, this is a zip file" 
changes the icon... after decompression the stack runs just fine under 
2.2.RC1 standalone..

case closed, rev is fine...

The Department of Homeland Security made the right decision to go with 
Macs..
