It would appear that Rev just isn't working for you on your system.  I 
don't know why, so I can't rule out that it may indeed be because of 
some conspiracy or laziness or stupidity or whatever at RunRev Ltd.

Some of the issues you've experienced have been reproduced by others 
here; other issues not; others are well known in the Linux world as 
having various expressions in different apps beyond Rev.

But very few of these you've written about have been logged to the RQCC.

And with many of your threads I've taken considerable time explaining 
the business drivers behind the pros and cons of the Rev Linux engine, 
repeatedly both here and in our private emails, only to have you ask me 
"Why?" again in the next thread you start.

Going forward the archives will have to suffice; having done by best 
several times to answer your question and failed to provide an answer 
you find satisfying, I have to recognize that I have nothing to offer 
that will be of value to you.

If Rev is working for you, you are free to use it.

If Rev is not working for you, you remain as free as ever to use 
anything else.

If I can be of help resolving any specific issue I'm happy to lend what 
I can to the process.

In the meantime, I sincerely wish you the best of luck finding a tool 
that suits your needs.  Feel free to drop me a note if you find a 
particularly interesting one; I'm always willing to learn about good 
options.

Wishing you peace and success -
