Tom: > wow. we must have drasticly different focus on how we use rebol.
It's more likely (as other people have commented) it's a platform issue. Before I posted my version and comments I tried all the usual things to get REBOL to read/write from std in/out under Windows, including setting system/ports etc. There was nothing I could see that would stop REBOL, reading from and writing to its own console rather than the system console. Obviously, it can be made to do so under Windows. When you run as a CGI under a webserver that's what happens. But as a freestanding console-started program, it wouldn't work for me. Thanks to everyone who has commented on the issue......It is probably an aside if the shootout site is not Windows. > an aside, we might also shoot for using /base if it is allowed, (for faster > startup). It'd be worth trying some timing tests for the longer running programs. In my experience the most recent /view is some 20%-40% faster for number intensive operations than previous /cores and /bases.
