I'm not a me too kind of person but here goes.
Me Tooooooooo! I have been working on giving Rebol a GUI that works in both IE4.x & Netscape4.X and so far so good, but it's been a lot of work. Now I'm working on a plug-in for both browsers. I'm not a guru, but i do have the guru gear to do it, mBED. It doesn't come with many docs but the thing is awesome. it can put a GUI on anything by using DHTML, javascript,plug-in, Java classes,or Active-x control, on any browser. This is truly a program for writing once to all kinda apps. mBED has been beat up a lot in the mm market so the head guy (from Oracle) is kinda letting it hang on a limb. It was the first and only app that could do this without having to program a line of code. You just point and click, to get what you want, it all streamed to the page, it can handle any scripting language if you know how to do it. XML too. But what's really nice, it can do Rebol with ease. If I was Rebol I would really talk to mBED, I know they are ready to give the runtime and mBED language away as open source. For Rebol it would be like having your own Linux. mBED was a serious threat for a while until other companies saw the potential and wrote there own apps, (dreamweaver for examp.). What does the mBED language look like. Thought you never asked. Just like Rebol..... see attach... This is a file button with a drop down menue. Do you write this code, no it does it for you. and a click of a button, it can be changed into an applet, dhtml,activeX, or plugin. No kidding. I'm using this with the IE 5 to make stand alone apps. through HTA's . So easy it will make you cry. How do you get the rebol to get in the page? DHTMLedit.LoadDocument("Rebol\rules.r", "false") and it does it, or you can do it from mBED, *Mbedlet load Rebol\rules.r*, and it does it. The trick I use is append the result to a file and load it in the DHTMLedit control or a sublet in mBED. Do I really need Rebol to pull off anything I (I) need, no, but Rebol is where mBed was going if those guys could've nail there marketing plan on the head and put there hands on more money, life sucks sometimes. So if anyone want to do what Rebol can't do right now, I urge you to look at mBed. And when time comes to use Rebol\core Rebol\view Rebol\Command, use it. Sorry for the long letter if it upsets some, but it very educating. www.mBed.com |
