Haven't you heard that it's a beta? I wouldn't expect it to be ported everywhere until the general bugs are worked out, and the API a little less in flux. It's not really a public beta either. The current public REBOL, /Core, is aggressively cross-platform. There's no reason that REBOL/View wouldn't be as cross-platform when it's released. Brian Hawley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
