It seemed that Garrett was just politely pointing out the 
ineffectualness of posting here:  None of the other users in this 
user-to-user forum can do anything for you on matters relating to the 
company's internal decisions.

For noise-making I suppose the list provides a certain satisfaction, but 
for results have you considered writing to RunRev directly?


I don't understand the claims about RealBASIC being cheaper (assuming by 
"cheap" the reference is to price <g>), nor can I find anything on 
RunRev's site describing a subscription-based licensing model.

 From my limited understanding it seems Rev is sold pretty much like a 
majority of other packages out there:

You buy a license, and you can use that version indefinitely; from time 
to time optional upgrades are available which you can choose to purchase 
licenses for or not, and not purchasing an upgrade in no way affects 
your current installation.

It's been a long time since I bought my license, and I know the 
licensing and pricing structure has changed with surprising frequency, 
so if my understanding is out of date please let me know the URL where I 
can learn more.
