Hi Scott,

The SecuROM copy protection has been requested by a client so that's the way
we have to go. We've used SecuROM with Director applications before without
any problems but they (Director apps) are 'officially' supported within the
encryption process. 'Standard' Windows and Mac apps are supposed to work
just as well but you never know. I just wondered whether anyone had a
actually used the process with Rev standalones.

Cheers,

Terry...
