Revlet behaving badly in Safari

[Andre Garzia]

Folks,

RRE.app is Runtime Revolution Environment, aka, the web plugin. RRE
probably mean you have an Alpha version of the plugin, the ones that
were seeded to conference going pioneers. If this is so, then, trying
to load a revLet will render the browser unresponsive. The file format
changed I think, the .revlet files are different from that the alpha
plugin loaded.

The dialog appearing behind the browser is a bug that RunRev is aware
of and trying to fix.

cheers
