it's actually much simpler than what's been described...

open a command box and type the following

assoc .rev ! this outputs the current association

  ASSOC .rev=RunRevFile
  FTYPE RunRevFile=D:\Metacard\mc.exe "%1"

assoc .rev=RunRevFile
assoc mc=RunRevFile
assoc hc=RunRevFile

double click a rev file and hop it works!

The real issue though is that the installer doesn't create those 
associations when you install rev!
So reinstalling rev wont fix the problem.

And my pet peeve, is that if rev is open, double clicking a rev icon 
launches another instance
of rev.

To be safe, i would avoid this association on windows due to the potential 
danger of
overwriting the same file from 2 different applications (this has been 
discussed before)...

just my 2 cents on safety...

cheers
