The main Revolution application for any platform should not be renamed.
The distribution builder expects Revolution.app and Revolution to be
found in the startup directory (for OSX and OS9 respectively). If you
want to have different Revolution application names, one way is to copy
and rename the executables. However, it should be noted that there is no
advantage in having different Revolution application versions in the
same directory if they have the same internal version number (obtained
using "put the version" in the msg box). If the executables have
different version numbers then most likely other stack files have
changed in the distrbution and you should use the latest version.
