The Value of Rev Stacks One Never Sells

Let me, if I may, use this portion of Richard's excellent analysis to 
suggest there is even more value available to you when you start 
using Revolution for in-house, throwaway projects.  For years I have 
used HyperCard for any task requiring combining text and images. 
This includes letterhead, CD labels, advertising copy layout, "slide 
show" presentations, online manuals, etc.

More recently, a long-time client asked me to prepare a summary of 
the reasoning for converting the drywall estimating software I wrote 
for them ca 1988 to Revolution and exploring how the software might 
present itself.  In response I delivered a CD with a Revolution 
standalone consisting of a letterhead field, a scrolling text field, 
three buttons, and three substacks.

The standalone opens & reads like a scrolling letter, until the field 
scrolls completely to the end.  At that point the three buttons 
appear.  MouseUp at any button displays one of three possible designs 
for the main input screen.

So don't overlook how Revolution can work for you in-house as you use 
it to develop the products that pay the rent.
