We haven't made clear one crucial point about Rev Online. Uploading of
stacks will only be available to license holders. In order to get a key to
upload, you will have to have a paid up license for Revolution, so we know
who you are. Not too many hackers are going to ante up for the privilege of
messing with your computer and if they do, we'll catch them immediately.

Revolution Online will only be available in browse mode to users of the
trial versions.

For this round of testing only, we've made it open to all. As such, you
should be duly cautious about anything you download if you don't recognise
the poster - unlikely to have problems since we're only publicising the beta
to this group but you never know.

It's also worth noting that the Player is much more secure when run in
"SecureMode".

If you still see a problem by all means tell us though, we don't want any
foreseeable problems to catch us unawares,

Regards,

Heather
