I've tested the materials Jacque sent me from Mark Waddingham, and in my 
brief test is looks like he did a find job.  Klaus is verifying this now 
and if it's a go he'll post a new build with it.

The few advantages Rev's has are largely the result of recommendations 
Ken and I made based on our experience using my custom builder, 
Standalone Ranger.  While a dozen or so friends and clients have been 
enjoying the one-click convenience of my standalone builder for many 
years, we didn't release it to the general public out of a courtesy to 
RunRev's license enforcement limits.  Now that they've put their license 
enforcement into the engine the way it used to be under Raney, I'm in 
the process of tidying up Standalone Ranger and look forward to sharing it.
