Hey Ashely, It is funny that people get worked up over whether or not if there wishlist stuff gets implemented in a new or developing language, and if it doesn't, they hope that language dies.
What did I mean by *fragmented(IE)......... >>If it's not the right tool for the job, use a different tool My point exactly. We should want to be able to use Rebol. (I know Carl Does) I know Rebol will never die, it will just transform. If it transform because of an IE plug-in, and it has, we will work hard at creating a way to deal with Internet Explorer from a Rebol point-of-view. We or RT can create this non-GUI api, or everyone in the spirit of Rebol can roll there own. #Roll your own = fragmented(IE) scripting support. My script can not easily work with your script. (Hey I'll just extend parts of your script and call it my script! Now I'll sell my script!) Rebol/Plug-in.exe Api = yet another Rebol exe to add to the Rebol/whatevers. And to have it work for Mac,Linux,Opera, Mozilla, etc. we must build more Rebol/whatevers or M$ programming will dominate how we deal with the In-the-Web programming. This is not a negative post. It just shows that no matter how you spin it, whatever route you go with the browsers, XML plugs has to be built into the Rebol API or it won't be practical to use. Unless the Plug-in is only to launch Reblets from the browser, than RT has done there job very well. ----- Original Message ----- From: iNetW3 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, March 08, 2004 6:24 PM Subject: [REBOL] Re: object2XML > Hello T.B., > > Try my quickparser.r script at Rebol.org > Search for *quickparser* > > Your right about Rebol and XML.
