There are two new web technologies. One is client-based and the other is 
server-based.

1. On-rev (irev): This is the server-based technology. It allows you to 
write web pages (called "irev" pages) using RevTalk. This works exactly 
like PHP, and you can mix HTML and irev scripts together in your web 
page code. The scripts are interpreted by software on the server, which 
then sends the final HTML output to the user's browser. You need an 
account with On-Rev right now if you want to use this, because only the 
RR server has the software to interpret irev scripting. Eventually RR 
plans to release the software for installation on any server, but that 
isn't ready yet.

2. Revlets: This is the client-based technology. The user downloads a 
browser plug-in which allows stacks to run inside a browser window, much 
like Flash or QT does. Because the plug-in is on the user's hard drive, 
revlets can run from anywhere. You can place your revlet on any server, 
just like you can store QT movies on any server. The plug-in downloads 
the file and does all the work inside the browser.
