Rev 2.02/New pricing

Duane,

My understanding is that you could purchase a Studio copy of RunRev for your
Mac platform for $199 and an Express copy to debug on Windows for $75 and
you're still under the $299 Small Business Edition.

The Studio Copy will let you compile standalones for all Windows versions.
You can debug your code using the Express Copy.

Another option is purchase two Express Copies (if you don't mind the "Made
with Revolution" message when the user quits.) This would only set you back
$150...still much cheaper than the small business edition used to be.

best,

Chipp
