I have run Rev as command-line on Windows and have run a command-line  
version on OS X.  I don't know if they will work in a non-GUI  
environment, I can run them without using any GUI that I know of.  I  
have also run standalones from the command line, but I think they  
need to have a GUI environment.

There have been some bugs in command-line parsing for Windows.  There  
are workarounds if you don't use quotes.  I suspect these bugs do not  
show up in Linux.

There are some bugs/features in Windows concerning stdin and stdout  
that limit your use.
