Building "serious" scientific applications with RunRev...

I've used RunRev to produce a data manipulation tool for my wife 
carrying out chemistry research at Loughborough University, UK.  In 
addition, I used RunRev to produce a tool to capture data from an 
analytical chemistry instrument (a diode array detector for an HPLC) 
and output it in a form suitable for importing into Excel.
