I've requested that since there business agendas are changing, why not let mBED become open source. Looks like it's on it's way someday. (won't hold my breath). Nice part about it is rebol.r can be called from mBED and it will work every time, with or without a stand alone user interface that can run on any computer and browser(java support needed). The mBed language is even a lot easier than rebol written in natural language. background=grey width=300 height=250 noicons=true etc... it's streams to the browser and its all ran through C++ or java engine. So i dont really need rebol\view but i think its got its place in the hackers hall of fame.

With the Scala MM200, they were able to use DirectX which probably made things a bit easier for smooth multimedia effects. On the Amiga, they pushed it to the max, to be able to get the effects they did. An Amiga 1200 with an accelerator can perform quite favourably with my 133Mhz Pentium PC. What I'm saying is that their is a lot of work involved :) So to have smooth Scala like wipes, they would probably have to employ a number of people to just work on the graphics subsystem, especially to get it to work on more than a couple of platforms.

[REBOL] How can you prevent multiple simultaneous file access ?
How can you prevent multiple simultaneous file access ? I looked at source code for a perl script a while back and it included a function called flock() which allowed you to lock a file so that it cant be opened for reading two or more times at the same time. Can something like this be done in REBOL ? I plan to write some cgi scripts and if a data file tries to get read and written at the same time by a couple of instances of the script Im worried of possible corruption. Ive been lurking here for a while now and still new to REBOL - not like other languages Ive learnt in the past, but could be the most useful and quickest for some tasks in my opinion :) Barry Jones --- The Random Groucho Marx Quotes Page http://www.therightside.demon.co.uk/quotes/groucho/

[REBOL] [REBOL]Controlling security from script Re:(3)
I've been pondering security issues lately, motivated by an interest
in having a web- (or other net-) server which contains a library of
scripts or functions which could be run at will (or automatically
synchronized frequently) on a net-connected box. It's really tedious
keeping N+1 boxes synchronized by hand!
However, that increases the number of potential attacks on the
client box. Hence the paranoid mutterings below.
-jn-

Hmmm... That just displaces (and enlarges) the security problem.
To make the point, let me oversimplify and ignore the differences
between file and net security (and levels, etc.) and focus on WHEN
the security decision is made, in broad brush terms.
In practical terms we currently have these kinds of options:
1) Naive mode:
Always run unsecured (via -s or {secure none} in user.r)
2) Cautious mode:
Insecure intervals at a loose timescale (disable security,
do a bunch of stuff, then turn security back on)
3) Nervous mode:
Lower security just enough to run a trusted script, then
immediately crank it back up.
4) Raving paranoid mode:
Always leave security at the highest setting, leave the modem
off, unplug the network cable, and don't even boot the box.
With the .RS option, I could mount an attack on your system using
new techniques to bypass your choice of 1-4 above:
a) Social engineering, part 1:
Try to get you to run a script (send it via email, ask you to
'do my web-page, etc.) and hope you don't notice the name
%email-threat-to-white-house-and-erase-hard-drive.rs
b) Social engineering, part 2:
Send you a useful (SAFE!) script with an *.rs name. You can
look it over carefully and test it (change its name to *.r
and explicitly monitor all dangerous actions, etc.) until you
trust it enough to leave it enabled with *.rs all the time.
Then I send you an "upgrade", with an *.rs name, that has a
Trojan horse (possibly implemented via self-modifying code
after a certain number of executions or elapsed time) and
hope that the new version inherits the trust you placed in
the older copy.
c) Catch-you-not-looking attack:
Get at your box long enough to change a script's name from
%foo.r to %foo.rs (there's a bit more, but you get the idea).
Just thinking in paranoid mode here... ;-) I'm wondering if we
could come up with new security techniques that would be viable
alternatives to the sandbox or the signature methods.
Old joke: "I'm from the government. I'm here to help you."
New joke: "I'm from microsoft. I'm safe to execute on your box."

[REBOL] Find Function Re:
Hi, Paul, Several other folks have given good, comprehensive explanations. I might add a simple trick; read any [...] as if it were a synonym for first_established_value_in [...] where "established" means something other than none or false. It's saying "try these in this order, and quit as soon as you find one" (in a loose sort of way). REBOL allows you to make puns in logic-oriented expressions; none is considered to be false, and everything else (other than false and its synonyms no and off) is considered to be true. As a consequence, foo: any [ gorp bletch quux flarp "default"] can be used as short-hand for the imperative code either found? gorp and gorp [ foo: gorp ][ either found? bletch and bletch [ foo: bletch][ either found? quux and quux [ foo: quux ][ either found? flarp and flarp [ foo: flarp ][ foo: "default" ] ] ] ] For example, if I have a Great Big Hairy Database of contact and address data (and some suitable function definitions ;-), I could write your-address: any [ your-home-address your-work-address your-parents-address general-delivery-to-your-home-town "no address on file" ] -jn-

Hi Elan: I wanted a quick and dirty way to bypass the security check for testing purposes.

I currently work in Windooz, but am migrating to Linux. You serendipitously brought up something else: I recently downloaded CygWin (Gnu C/C++ Windooz port). It comes with a bash shell adapted to microsoft. I think I will try running rebol from it. I'll let you know what happens.

[REBOL] one file user guide ? Re:(2)
As a workaround, you could generate a single doc complete with TOC using the freeware program HTMLdoc -- see http://www.easysw.com/index.html It will generate either a single structured html file or a ps or pdf for printing.

[REBOL] [REBOL]Controlling security from script Re:(2)
Thanks Tim and Ted: I currently program in C++ on NT and am familiar with the procedure outlined. I don appreciate the tips however. This procedure will be good enough for testing on my desktop pc until I get my feet a little wetter with rebol. Maybe I jumped the gun before testing FTP and CGI features, but this is what I eventually want to be able to do: 1)Automatically (without user input) update a file via ftp. From my PC at home. Haven't done this before, I think rebol is the media for this. 2)Read/write files on web server via CGI. I do this all the time using executables compiled in C, but I think that rebol may be a better media in may cases.

Ah, so the static content, right? I thought so. In such case - is /Media still planned?

Yes, the 80,000 does include all the bounced messages that come back to
SELMA. Mailbox full, et cetera. That's why the message numbers in the
archive skip numbers. Some good refinements would be a GET that only
retrieved outgoing messages, and/or a similar feature for the archive
