A minor correction... "Revolution" is both the IDE application AND the 
language, "Runtime Revolution" ("RunRev") is the company name. And as 
Robert pointed out, the prior name for the language ever since RunRev 
acquired it was "Transcript", and prior to RunRev acquiring the 
application from MetaCard Corporation, it was "MetaTalk".

Exactly, and personally I'd rather not pay any royalties for products I 
make...
