Ah yes - I'd forgotten that RunRev used to honor the same licensing MC did.
It was amazing what some folks came up with within those limits, like
you did with your musical instruction stacks.
I can understand why RR moved to time-based trials, but for a language
this rich and unique having RevMedia for free lets people spend much
more time to really get a feel for what they can do with it. 30 days
just wasn't enough for a sole-source proprietary language. A very good
change, much better than the old scriptLimits-based option.
