Trevor,

Rev 2.5.1 really install VXCMD produced NOT by Paradigma.

Rev guys self have take our C++ SDK and produce
    VXCMD_macho (it is bad that they use our name!!!)
    which support only REV DB way.

Now I think that in theory it is possible to have 2 driver.
But again IMHO this is not best way.

If we keep all in one, then you can mix both ways I think.
For example database Ref from REVDB ca be used with Valentina API.
