First off, empty the trash! OS X is quite capable of using an  
application that is in the trash so either get rid of it completely,  
or archive it and then trash the original.

Double-clicking on a Rev stack may just work then as Rev 2.5 will  
probably be the latest matching app on your system, but if not, Get  
Info for a stack and see if it appears in the list of Open with..  
apps. If not, choose Other... from the bottom of that popup menu and  
find the Rev 2.5 app.

Once you have done this, click the Change all.. button to apply this  
to all your Rev stacks.

HTH,
Sarah
