don't think so :-)

could be catch in stderr

You're right.
I'm using Revolution ( Metacard to be honest ) since years with -ui.
and not in a CGI context.

I'm catching some information from the outside world of Revolution  
and out of it
can build a script, create a stack , compile it and send back the  
result.
No problems so far.

But, I've to admit I'm still a bit annoyed, not to say more, that  
there is no
doc at all for these things.... So, I'm very careful when I develop;
which means test test and test... and multiply by 3 the development  
time to be sure :-(

Without saying that for every new version, one have to check  
everything again
to be sure that it still works !!!

I'll go there and vote for it !

HTH,
