Shouldn't this limitation be obsoleted? I had read once that RunTime had no
fear of a competing IDE, and in fact, they incourage it. It was explained
that a license to the engine is still required, so RunTime would still
benefit from sales. This ancient 10 line limit is well, "limiting" us as
developers. Do any of Revs competing languages have such a limit imposed on
built standalone apps?
