1. Assimilate developed RedCine as a crippled down version of Scratch 2 yrs.ago. It was solely intended for basic grading and transcoding of RED files. Available for both Mac and PC, it did rely on privileged access to camera files. RedCine, as well as ScratchCine and Scratch finishing access the RED files through something that is called REDNode. They did not need any SDK to do this, hence the optimized speed and the ability to play back in RT on selected, overclocked platforms. And Terry, Scratch does not need any special hardware(well, except for the SDI NVidia option). You can run it on your XW8400, 8600 or Z800. Not necessarily with RT performance. One head of your GFX card to the GUI monitor, the other to your plasma/projector/DreamColor.
2. The release of RedRocket changed the game dramatically, in such a way that potentially any developer could achieve RT performance for playback/transcoding on average workstations/desktops even at full debayer. The stability issues with REDCine(understandable for a freely distributed utility) as well as RedAlert/RedRushes complementarity and lack of features, determined Jim&team to take the bull by the horns and develop themselves, in house, the RedCine-X, as a standalone for both platforms. It includes functionality and features from all its predecessors, adds some extras and it's meant as a supporting app. for RR. Assimilate has no contribution in this piece of SW.
3. RedCine-X is currently in alpha and only available for Macs. It's been never accessible through the RED website, but only as a download for ordinary users and alpha/beta testers. And still is: http://red.cachefly.net/REDCINE-X-A6.zip
4. Assimilate is still ahead of the pack. They successfully demoed RedRocket implementation in Scratch ver.5 with 4k full debayer in RT, during IBC in Amsterdam. Assimilate is waiting for Win7 official release, as they also migrated to 64bit with this new version. As an interesting detail, access to the RR card is this time through RED SDK(like anyone else) and no longer through the Red Node. User can choose the debayer in SW or via the card.
let me know if you need further details

I am not sure, he probably didn't think to run it past Assimilate, or
he may have just been testing the water.
