I have only been using Revolution for less than a year now and before
that I used hyperCard.  I know about MetaCard but I thought it was
replaced by Rev.  So where do I get the MetaCard IDE and after I
get it how do I install it properly?

I have noticed others on the list mention they use MetaCard too.  Will
someone please explain why people use MetaCard even though they
keep using the latest version of Rev.

thanks,
