tRev

[Sarah Reichelt]

The problem is that the folder containing your Rev application has
different names depending on which version of Rev you have. Also, you
may have installed it in various places, and you may have several
versions installed. SO it is next to impossible for tRev to work out
where your Rev application is.

But tRev must know which Rev app to use, since it has to be able to
communicate back to the main Revolution application, whether it is
revEnterprise, revStudio or revMedia.

Anyway, as you have discovered, tRev has to be in EXACTLY the same
folder as the Revolution application you are using, so you have it
know.

For any newcomers to tRev, I strongly recommend going to the
<http://reveditor.com/> site and going back through the movies that
Jerry has produced, especially the early ones so you can watch as the
features developed.

Cheers,
Sarah
