Because once again - if you would be, you would know Rebol is kind of LIVE last months. I can understand Miguel's frustration, but we went thru much darker ages with RT. Now I believe OS/X port is some weeks, or 2 - 3 moths ahead.
Here's link to latest Carl's blog. I think OS-X is pretty high on to-do list. View 1.3 is done for two or so weeks, I hope we get SDK really soon, and ports to other platforms will follow shortly. http://www.rebol.net/article/0181.html In any case, maybe Carl does not read on ml, but maybe guys like Cyphre, Gabriele or Gregg, who helped RT with 1.3, know some internals they could share? -pekr- -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
