After you take a look, try it out... what do you think? It was recommended to me by a friend. Check out the actual coding syntax use. Seems to be about as easy as it gets.
But, let me know what you think. I see they have some new plugins coming out too.
Do you give it a "yay!" or "nay"?

Ya, that chart compares Revelation against a few others.
I have tried it out and it has some quirks I'm not found of, but offerings cross-platform (one coding and you get all platforms, if I read it correctly). Also, Webapplications.
I'm going to check it out some more.

I don't understand this claim "Build U3 Smart Drive Applications Yes x x x " as u3 apps are no different to normal apps except for the variables they access and care is taken where you put the files.
Hmm, we should build a U3 output manager for our projects for PB. My biggest problem was getting the manifest file right!

Maybe an official one would increase pb sales?

Yes, I am sure it would as it is proving to be very popular. Now all we need are smart programmers to build it. I am dumber than a horse's behind :D :D :D :D :D

If I could figure out how the manifest creator (for the u3 platform) validates the current xml schema agains what you created, I could have a go at making that because there are things wrong with that program. Main one is that it cannot figure out the screen metrics and extends beyond the bottom of the screen in 1024x768 mode, even when there is not that much on the form to be seen!!!
