re Rev and XML

[revolution at knowledgeworks.plus.com]

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for pointing that out to me.  I thought I'd give you some feedback.

This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind.  If this is not part of Rev's strategy, I think it should be.

Just to put my response in context, I'm on Windows XP, using Rev 2.0.1

Firstly, I had some trouble downloading the stack with Netscape (Rev complained it was not downloaded in a binary format).  But it downloaded ok with IE.

When I rip a simple test stack to XML the Rev IDE seems to hang (says 'not responding' in the window title bar).  However, when I ctrl+alt+del to look at Task Manager to see what if Rev was actually computing, it became responsive once more.

I looked at the ripped stack, and changed some text, then saved it.  When I wanted to burn a stack from the XML doc Rev crashed.  I tried again, and it crashed Rev a second time.

I'm not sure if this is freeware or if you are planning to license/sell this as a product (I noticed it was on the same page as products you sell).

Regards,
Bernard

I wrote a stack called mcRipper that converts a stack to XML. As I 
recall, it converts just about everything (scripts included). It also 
had the ability to create a stack from XML.

It's been a looong time since I wrote it. It hasn't been tested with 
2.0, but feel free to be the first! (work on a copy)
