What I mean is that I ran into the same problem with "normal" VBS 
files, where it would trigger antivirus software (primarily because it 
was trying to do things with the FileSystem object and that is a 
no-no). However I discovered that if I created a "normal" DLL (in my 
case using Visual Basic 6.0) and then called it from a VBS script that 
only connected to the DLL, executed a function in there, and then 
returned the result to Rev, it wouldn't trigger virus software and it 
meant that virtually any DLL written in any language could be used with 
Rev.

Details are here:

So my thought was that there might a public domain "normal" DLL out 
there that did what you wanted (or could be created if necessary) and 
then called from Rev through a VBS script wrapper.

Just a thought,
