Well, I think the SuperCard example ultimately works against the "someone 
tried it before and failed miserably so it shouldn't be tried again" line of 
reasoning.

A lot of us aren't using SuperCard because it doesn't run on Windows. I 
certainly share the *impression* that RunRev is a much healthier company --  
perhaps in no small part because of its xplat ability. RunRev Studio's 
tagline is, "Code once, deploy everywhere," isn't it? One company's 
albatross is another's eagle.

Or perhaps I mean, "blue jay?" Going to the RunRev homepage I see a cute 
little banner, "Avoid Extinction with Universal Binary Support" ... the sad 
dinosaurs are SuperCard users?
