The latest version of the Linux engine used to be 2.6.1 (which still 
works fine.) Now that 2.9 is released, you should be able to use that 
one too, though I haven't actually tried it yet. The important part is 
that you use the standalone engine, not the one from the app the IDE 
uses. You can find the standalone engines in the main Rev program folder 
on your hard drive, inside a folder called Runtime. You should already 
have all those engines, since they are included with your Revolution 
installation.

The standalone engines don't need a registration code. Just copy the 
right one to your cgi-bin folder on the server.

Sometimes your scripts need to specify -ui in the declaration line, but 
again, I'm not sure if that is still the case when using the standalone 
engines. (I really need to get cleared up on that; does anyone know?) In 
other words, you may need to do something like this in your text file 
script:

#! revolution -ui

When I get some time (which at this point is dubious) I'll do some 
tests. I need to update the links on that CGI web page too.
