Hi Bernard,

My memory is admittedly not the most trustworthy so I'm happy to be 
corrected if I misremember, but my recollection is that the 10 line 
scriptlimits in Metacard and early versions of Revolution only applied 
in the free version. Runtime of course dropped the free version but also 
applied the script limits to standalones made with the paid-for version.
