Thanks Bob.  Actually on Linux it seems it's a bit more complicated, as 
although the basic Rev app does have a revdb plugin on Linux, just as it does 
on Mac and Windows; the standalone doesn't need it (whereas it does on Mac and 
Windows).

However, you do still need some other plugins - which you get if you check 
"Database Support" in the Standalone Settings, and then select the individual 
database types you want to address - and also need some script magic, which 
happens automatically on Mac and Windows if you check "Database Support", but 
doesn't happen on Linux unless you additionally select "Database" in the 
libraries.
