[REBOL] ftp and the closing of ports.
Hello, I've been reading some of the posts regarding rebol's ftp. I am having an issue with the closing of ftp ports. My host recently went to a 2 ftp connection limit (from the same IP) and this has caused my 5 year old ftp scripts to fail. What happens is this - I have a function that opens a port, writes a file then closes the port. It only works once however because on the next call, the ftp server complains I have reached the limit. At this point even testing is a bear because I have to wait until the server closes the port to try again. It looks like the port really isn't closed. I've attempted Brett Handley's system/schemes/ftp/handler/cache-size: 0 but I get an invalid path value error. Any ideas?

[REBOL] Re: Euro and German currency
Hi Andrew, here comes some info from a German. There might be some official guidelines where to put the euro-sign in a currency format, but in real life it doesn't matter if it is in front or behind the amount. Important is the . as delimiter for thousands and , as decimal delimiter. Sometimes we use EUR for the Euro when the is not available (price labels). As we have the euro as the only legal currency, the German Mark is only useful for historical circumstances (as said before Note: Your quotation is right).

[REBOL] Re: Sort in REBOL
Yes, sorry, I oversimplified it for the email... Normally the data would be such that you would use a /skip/all combination. You are correct. Here's a better example: data: [ abc [name 123] def [fred 345] ] sort/skip/compare/all data 2 func [a b] [a/2/1 b/2/1] At 9/8/02 03:05 PM +0200, you wrote: Hi 3) The /ALL refinement allows you to sort more complex data, for example, by data fields within blocks: data: [ [name 123] [fred 345] ] sort/compare/all data func [a b] [a/2 b/2] Perhaps you already know all this... but, I figured, what the heck... I did not and yes that's very cool. Or there is something i do not understand, or the Carl example is wrong (!). I do not see here any difference in using ALL. Like changes doc of Core 2.5 explains, ALL must be used with SKIP: /all Used in combination with the /skip refinement. [NEW] By default only a single field in a record is used for comparison. If the /all refinement is used then all fields in a record are used for comparison. --- Ciao Romano -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes. -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] Sort in REBOL
Noticed the thread on SORT, but I don't have time to read it all. A few notes: 1) SORT in recent versions of REBOL is much more reliable. It is also quite fast, but that depends on what you're sorting and the function you use for comparison. We use it all the time. 2) If you want a stable sort, return 1, -1, and 0 from a sort subfunction, rather than true and false. sort/compare data func [a b] [ if a b [return 1] if a b [return -1] 0 ] 3) The /ALL refinement allows you to sort more complex data, for example, by data fields within blocks: data: [ [name 123] [fred 345] ] sort/compare/all data func [a b] [a/2 b/2] Perhaps you already know all this... but, I figured, what the heck... -Carl -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] Core Guide Update - Minor Changes
The REBOL/Core Guide at http://www.rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore.html has had some minor changes, including eliminating bad links and adding newer version change docs to the table of contents. Also, Chapter 6 and 11 have been converted and reformatted with makedoc.r. I would very much appreciate it if someone could look over these chapters for formatting errors. It's hard to catch them all. Email me directly if you find something.

[REBOL] REBOL/Core 2.5.3 Released
A new REBOL/Core has been released for testing purposes. Check out the list of changes and find out where to get it at: http://www.reboltech.com/downloads/changes.html Some of the changes include: MAKE-DIR Rewritten New Bitset Functions: CLEAR, LENGTH?, EMPTY? Changes to SKIP Function ARRAYs Initialized with Block Values Added PARSE BREAK Word Fix to OPEN on Network Ports Fixed Crash on Modified Functions Unset Object Variables (on Exit) Added BUILD-MARKUP Function Revised BUILD-TAG Function Revised DECODE-CGI Function and more... Some of the changes to functions like BUILD-TAG might be worth discussing... because the old function was pretty bad, and the new one is not that compatible with it (if anyone was in fact using the old one.) Let me know what you think. There's more to do, but we didn't want to hold up some of the nicer changes to wait for everything. Newer versions of /View, /Command, /Encap, /Link, and /Serve will be made available soon. -Carl REBOL Guy -- To unsubscribe from this list, please send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the subject, without the quotes.
[REBOL] I've had it with email.
Hello fellow REBOLers, [flame: on] Email has become useless to me. After 24 years of email, I think I'm qualified say that the situation with spam has recently grown totally out of hand. Each month I add ever more email filters to keep my email useful. Currently, there are over 300 filters preprocessing my email. But, as you know from the REBOL web site, we think there are much better ways to communicate. Email reminds me of general delivery postal mail. Anyone can send email to anyone. Plus, it's not reliable, it's not secure, it's easy to spoof, viruses poison attachments, it's limited in power (e.g. compare with X-Internet here), and there's no way to stop the flood of spam. It has become a tedious chore to deal with email (those of you who run web sites or openly post your email address know what I mean). At this rate, I think email will be dead in a few years. In fact, let me go on record saying that. A venture capitalist recently commented that this was a bold statement... but just watch. You watch. I'm not saying email will go away permanently. I'm saying that we'll have much better ways to communicate. Those of you who've tried IOS have a good idea what I'm talking about. IOS has been a great learning experience. Now, after more than 18 months of using IOS, the future has become more clear. But, this is not intended to be an ad for IOS... [flame: off] So... my new email address can be found on the contacts page of the REBOL.com web site. And, as always, if you've got something important to say about REBOL or IOS, I'm always interested in hearing it.

[REBOL] Align bytes in the new Rebols
Hello rebol-list,
writing my previous post about the bug in the debase, I've
recalled one thing I would like to see in the new Rebol versions
;now using
debase/base 1100 2
== #{FC}
;but:
debase/base 11 2
== none
;so what about something like:
debase/base/align 11 2
== #{FC}
Of course in the native debase function, so I would not have to use my
own byte-align functions as:
byte-align: func[bits [string!] /local p][
p: (length? bits) // 8
if p 0 [insert/dup tail bits #0 8 - p]
bits
]
debase/base byte-align 11 2
== #{FC}

[REBOL] Re: issue-to-tuple
Hello all,
How about
to-tuple form issue
Anton.
X If I understand it well Oldes needs that function for converting hexa
X RGB values to REBOL format so this won't work.
X I vote for [to-tuple debase/base clr 16] :)
Yes, you are right Bolek, I need it for converting hexa RGB values in my
Rebol/Flash dialect (my first reason why to use issue datatype ever:).
I've reduced the problem just just for converting issue to binary
(because there is no problem to convert binary to proper tuple) and did some
quick test:
REBOL/VIEW
to-binary #234311
== #{323334333131}
issue-to-binary: func[clr ][load head insert tail insert next mold clr { }]
issue-to-binary #234311
== #{234311}
t1: now/precise loop 100 [issue-to-binary #234311] t2: now/precise t2/time -
t1/time
== 0:00:07.08
issue-to-binary: func[clr ][load head insert tail insert head form clr #{ }]
t1: now/precise loop 100 [issue-to-binary #234311] t2: now/precise t2/time -
t1/time
== 0:00:07.32
issue-to-binary: func[clr ][load rejoin [#{ form clr }]]
t1: now/precise loop 100 [issue-to-binary #234311] t2: now/precise t2/time -
t1/time
== 0:00:16.604
;with the Brett's debase patch
t1: now/precise loop 100 [issue-to-binary #234311] t2: now/precise t2/time -
t1/time
== 0:00:26.608
;without the patch - CRASH
So although my solution looks like more complicated, it's much more
faster. The problem is in the DEBASE - Debase is native but with a bug
inside so it's useless:-(

Hello,
in case you forgot email, here is FYI2 for your information.
Feel free to use the engine to whatever you want. You can even sell it
for big money (if someone wants to buy it :-)
Look at line 3 ('tekst). First version was using [...to-string first
text...] but that produces strange results in draw (some strange chars
are printed on screen - instead of f it produces something like f.
And printing one char (#f) does not work in draw).

Limited in size to 16384 bytes (most REBOL demos will fit here) 3rd category - wild compo. If you've got 5Meg animation running under REBOL - this category is for you. What is demo? Good question - We think that things like 'vector cube' 'fire' 'plasma' and so on are enough for 1kB category. It takes hour or two to write them and they are fun for weeks. Why?

[REBOL] FW: Mathematical Operations in REBOL Re:
Hi Doug, go to http://www.rebol.org/math/index.html and pick up a copy of Eric Long's decimal.r. He writes: Purpose: Contains functions for the manipulation of decimal values, packaged into the REAL object. These provide full support for native binary floating-point file IO, compatible with C, FORTRAN, etc. REBOL decimal and money values may also be saved and loaded with no roundoff error. This package is necessary because the standard REBOL representation of decimal values may round off one or two significant digits, and the rounding of money values is an even greater source of error. This script contains two more objects, IEEE and EMPIRICAL, which provide several functions useful for exploring how decimal values are represented as double floating point numbers, and for testing the inexactness of the REBOL comparison functions.

If RT wants to close down their Selma based lists and migrate to a different service, I think they should a) create the lists they want to use; b) pipe the existing email addresses to the lists they create and c) send out automated invitations to users to continue using the new list(s) in place of the old Selma based lists. If you do NOT respond to these invitations you should be subscribed to the new lists. If you respond to the invitation with unsubscribe you're deleted from the list. d) Lists that are officially "owned" by RT should be maintained by RT employees exclusively! e) It would be helpful if they format of the new subject lines are announced on this list, before they migrate the lists.

[REBOL] Re:
Hi Sharriff, 1. Thanks for the link to the SocketServer site. Interesting stuff. 2.Theoretically (I haven't actually timed it) LIST! is faster when it comes to adding and removing elements. If you have a lot of add/remove operations on a series than a value of type list! should be faster. HASH! is faster when it comes to looking up elements. If you need to speed up searches then HASH! should be much faster. I expect that the speed of looking up elements in hashes is offset by the time it initially takes to construct a hash! and to add and remove elements in a hash. Be careful when navigating in list series. Indeces do not work the same way they do in blocks. Try out these examples: list: make list! [1 2 3 4] block: make block! [1 2 3 4] first block first list remove block remove list first block first list [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: It´s stated somewhere that HASH! and LIST! types are better for data retieval, by what factor and why exactly? are there any special sort or retieve commands or functions that are not documented?

[REBOL] List! series [Was: blank] Re:(2)
Hi gmassar, it's not quite as drastic as that. After removing from the list, do list: head list == make list! [2 3 4] Also try: list: make list! [1 2 3 4] at list 2 compare to block: make block! [1 2 3 4] at block 2 Another surprise: list: make list! [1 2 3 4] foreach element list [print element] Also try foreach element list [print mold element] forall and forskip work as expected. Also compare block: make block! [1 2 3 4] partial-block: skip block 2 list: make list! [1 2 3 4] partial-list: skip list 2 remove block remove list partial-block partial-list In short, you'll run into surprises if you expect list to behave like a block.

I'm finding that REBOL's a pretty nice tool to get close to the protocol.
Out of curiosity, how do you reverse byte order, for things like the length

Join would be nice.
probe join #{012345} [ #{0123} ]

probe to-binary join to-string #{012345} [ to-string #{6798} ]

yeah, REBOLs build-in binary capabilities are a bit strange sometimes :-/
## to binary! 100

I use these functions:
int-to-bin: func [int /little-endian /local bin] [

Here you are evaluating text/bob. the function bob in the object is is evaluated which leads to the evaluation of the expression print "Hi, I'm Bob". The print function does not return a value, which in REBOL evaluates to the value unset. The unset value is passed to type? which returns the type of unset. The type of unset is unset! type? test/:bob ** Script Error: Invalid path value: ?function?. ** Where: type? test/:bob You must have defined a global function called bob in addition to the bob function defined in the test object.

Your error reports that REBOL has first evaluated the expression :bob. It evluated to a function, and now REBOL is trying to use the function as part of the path test/:bob. I.e. the path REBOL is dealing with is test/?function? (?function? is the internal tag used to designate a function). REBOL is complaining that you cannot use a value of type function! as part of a path construct. How do I find out if test/bob is a function? try type? get in test 'bob == function! do to word!

"ray" == false Of course the expression to word! "ray" does not return a function. It returns the word ray. And since word! function!, function? will report that the value ray of type word! is not a value of type fnction! type? :ray == function! Here REBOL first retrieves ray's value, which is the function it is associated wtih, and passes the function value to type? I.e. the type? function never gets to see the word ray. The rype? function reports the type of the value associated with ray. And that is a value of type function! Is the type lost for good? The type is not lost for good. It looks like what I need a get-word function Here it is: type? get to word! "ray" == function! Hope this helps, Elan

Hello [EMAIL PROTECTED], Actually you can almost use your original function, you just got to be carefull not to evaluate the error! value. (As Andrew pointed out). Some REBOL values defaults to being evaluated on retrival, functions and errors are examples. Others don't - blocks, etc. to safely pass error values around you could use a colon in front of the word. Here's a slightly modified Connect: Connect: Func [ ip port ] [ error? Gp: try [ Open/direct/binary probe To-url join "tcp://" [ Ip ":" port ] ] if not error? :gp [ insert gp "GNUTELLA CONNECT/0.4^/^/" print to-string data: copy gp ] return :gp ] Note the additional colons and the error? in the second line. Now you can do stuff like: ## error? connect "localhost" 1000 tcp://localhost:1000 == true BTW. I once started on a REBOL implementation of the Gnutella protocol, so if you're interested in some marshalling functions, etc - just let me know...

[REBOL] Solution: Launch Programs from REBOL/View Re:(3)
Hi Jochen, I previously had a similar idea regarding browse. I'm not quite sure (wanted to first check into it, but I haven't had time yet, however since you raised the issue ...) don't browsers support mime types, and can't exe mime types be used to launch an executable via the browser? Isn't that how browsers automate the process of unpacking executable archives (at least under MS Windows)? So - at least under windows - you should be able to send the browser the executable with an exe mime type, thereby instructing the browser to execute the application. I'm not sure that'll work ...

Under UN*X REBOL/View is using netscape. So netscape will be startetd by following command triggered through REBOL: /usr/local/bin/netscape -remote "openURL(http://www.rebol.com, new-window)" but if you use browse _this_ way: browse "myapp par1 par2 par3" it will try following: /usr/local/bin/netscape -remote "openURL(myapp par1 par2 par3, new-window)" What we would have to do, is to replace netscape by a simple shell-script that cuts out the URL part of the command args and then launches the application therein. Some minutes ago I'd another Idea that enables us to run programs with all REBOL-releases.

[REBOL] Bug! path! in objects don't behave the same as path! outside object Re:(3)
Hi Andrew,
Aha. Got it. What you are observing is not specific to objects. It is the
result of how REBOL evaluates words and paths.
Let me simplify your example so that we can more easily focus on the
essential difference.
base: make object! [ p: "'p in 'base." ]
derived: make object! [ p: 'base/p ]
1. Word evaluation:
a) word references a path that evaluates to a string.
p: 'base/p
== base/p
:p
== base/p
p
== "'p in 'base."
b) word references a path that evaluates to a path:
r: 'derived/p
== derived/p
:r
== derived/p
r
== base/p
In both cases when REBOL evaluates a word and the word evaluates to a path,
then REBOL returns the value that is referenced by the path. It stops
dereferencing values at the second level as demonstrate by r. The evaluator
return base/p and did not continue to dereference the path base/p.
Compare to:
2. Path evaluation:
derived/p
== base/p
Re: 1. (a and b) When REBOL evaluates a word, and the returned value is a
path, then REBOL returns the value referred to by that path.
Re: 2. When REBOL evaluates a path, then it returns the value that path is
associated with. Unlike case 1., the path returned by evaluating the
top-level path is not dereferenced.
3. In both cases 1. and 2. if the returned value is a function, then that
function is evaluated and the value resulting from evaluating the function
is returned.
So what you are dealing with here is an exception that REBOL evaluator
makes for words, when those words evaluate to paths.
You can say that with respect to this behavior the REBOL evaluator works
something like this:
evaluate: func [something [any-type!]] [
if value? 'something [
either all [
word? get 'something
path? get get 'something
]
[
return get get 'something
][
return get 'something
]
]
return print "unset"
]
evaluate p
== "'p in 'base."
evaluate derived/p
== base/p
Note that this really has nothing to do with objects. You can do the same
thing with blocks:
block: [ p "'p in 'block" ]
== [p "'p in 'block"]
block/p
== "'p in 'block"
Word is assigned a path:
p: 'block/p
== block/p
When the REBOL evaluator discovers that the word p is referencing a path,
then the path is dereferenced as well:
p
== "'p in 'block"
But when REBOL is evaluating a path (this time associated with a block)
then unlike when evaluating a word, the evaluation is not repeated for the
referenced path:
derived: [ p block/p ]
== [p block/p]
derived/p
== block/p
In short, REBOL is consistent with respect to the distinction it makes
between evaluating words and evaluating paths. The way REBOL treats path is
not specific to objects.
Hope this helps,

[REBOL] Bug! path! in objects don't behave the same as path! outside object Re:
Hi Andrew, you wrote: Bug! path! in objects don't behave the same as path! outside object. Which parallel case involving paths are you thinking of? Here is an example case that does not involve objects at all and behaves exactly the case you attribute to objects: base: func [/p] [ either p [print "'p in 'base."] [print "'base"] ] base/p 'p in 'base. derived: make function!

If you want REBOL to instead assign p as a reference to the value that the path evaluates to, you must tell REBOL that: first reduce [base/p] 'p in 'base. i.e. derived: make object!

[REBOL] The day before, the day after, time to leave? ... Re:(2)
Hi Petr, Hi Jano, I believe that many things Petr said make a lot of sense ... to a degree. There are two competing, equally valid views of REBOL: - REBOL as a new tool to do NEW things. - REBOL as a new tool to do OLD things. Your criticism of RT's approach is based on the view of REBOL as a new tool do OLD things. I.e., how well does REBOL replace the tools we have been using all along (shell scripts, PERL, Tcl/TK, Visual Basic ... ) to do OLD things, such as integrate different applications, use OS services, conditionally launch applications, etc. This demand is natural. REBOL is such a well-designed tool to DO THINGS that - having invested the effort of learning REBOL - one immediately wishes one were able to use REBOL to do all those OLD things that one has to do all day. I think that in Carl's mind (well, I really don't know what's going in Carl's mind other than what I conclude from his design of REBOL) REBOL is intended as a tool to do NEW things in a new way. Things that have not been done because before, because the OLD tools did not inspire doing these new things, because the old tools are too clumsy to even begin to think about doing NEW things. I think RT should continue to remain focused on REBOL as a tool to do NEW things. They should encourage a visionary approach to using REBOL. They should not get caught up in trying to make REBOL the more convenient tool for doing OLD things. Why? Because if they are going to compete with established tools (some of which have been around 10 - 20 years), they have too much catching up to do, not only in terms of specialized support for legacy technologies, but also in terms of breaking through the lethargy of people who are set in their ways and have been solving the exact same type of problems in the exact same way for ten, twenty or thirty years. And to the degree that we enjoy using REBOL and desire to make REBOL a tool we can use daily in our professional life, we should be brainstorming about the new things that can be done with REBOL instead of complaining about how well REBOL manages to replace the old tools we have been using all along. How can we, for instance, use REBOL to improve the way we continue to OLD things using OLD tools? Can we implement a meta dialect in REBOL that will enable us to use REBOL to compile high-level task descriptions into executable PERL, Tcl/TK, Java or C++ scripts and programs? Which problems in a corporate context are not being tackled with existing technologies because of the limitation inherent in these technologies? Can REBOL be used as a basis to provide solutions to problems that are not being tackled because it is not feasible to attempt to solve them using anything but REBOL? More about that shortly.

[REBOL] Will REBOL/View be commercial? Re:
Hi Jochen, a few months ago Carl proposed that REBOL/View should replace REBOL/Core as REBOL's free, entry-level product. I don't think that Carl intends REBOL/View to become a commercial product. I don't know if Carl (as CTO) has the final say on these matters. I don't think you can compare REBOL/Command to REBOL/View with respect to commercialization. REBOL/Command (and other commercial REBOL implementations) will only become profitable if REBOL/View is deployed freely. REBOL/Command is a corporate type tool that would most likely be used to control a local workstation, an IntraNet or to run as a CGI interpreter on a Website. Meaning that the use of REBOL/Command does not depend on its availability on a third party's, a target client's machine. Perhaps I have a Website, or I need to provide a tool for my corporate strategical planning department to retrieve and process data from some database, or I want to glue applications together to automate some processing done by me, or by a department I'm responsible for. In all these scenarios I do not rely on a target audience - that makes its OWN purchasing decisions - already being in posession of REBOL/Command. IMHO REBOL/View's strategical position as a product is very different. It is to ensure that REBOL as a technology is marketable on a mass consumer market. REBOL/View = A REBOL Language Visual Browser The relationship between REBOL/View and the REBOL programming language is similar to the relationship between a webbrowser and HTML. REBOL/View is essentially a REBOL browser. It takes the combined effort of HTML + JavaScript + Java to replace REBOL/View. That's where REBOL/View's strength lies. That's also where REBOL Technologies chance for survival lies. /*** * If REBOL/View becomes commercial, then it is no longer competing against the ugly combination of HTML + JavaScript + Java, BECAUSE it cannot hope to compete with the ugly threesome WITH RESPECT TO availability on the consumer's, the target audience's machine. / A commercial REBOL/View distribution will prevent applications that target the Internet mass consumer market (i.e. portals, ecommerce solutions) from migrating to REBOL/View because they cannot reasonably assume that their target clients have REBOL/View available on their machines. It is this type of applications that REBOL/View targets. Developers, who have to provide solutions targeting this kind of audience will have to deliver technologies that are accessable to the target audience, and will be stuck with whatever technologies can reasonably be assumed to be freely available to the consumer: HTML + JavaScript + Java. If REBOL/View cannot replace the ugly threesome, then REBOL/View cannot fulfill its strategical role for RT. IRONICALLY, developers WILL be able to use the freely available REBOL/Core to manage their threesome projects, they WILL be able to use REBOL as a CGI engine serverside to generate their HTML and Java/Script pages, BUT THE CONSUMER WILL NEVER HAVE HEARD OF REBOL, because there is no point for consumers of Internet services to put REBOL/Core on their machine, and therefore neither developer's nor consumers will turn REBOL/View (or other REBOL implementations) into a commercial viable product. For REBOL to become a product (in contrast to being a technology) REBOL must become the consumer's favorite view of the Internet! This is only possible if REBOL/View is freely available to consumers so that it makes sense to develop REBOL/View scripts. REBOL/View will only be accepted by consumers if there are plenty of useful applications written in REBOL/View out there. They will only be written if it is realistic to assume that every consumer who now has a Web browser running on his machine will soon enough have REBOL/View running on his machine as well. In this situation IMHO REBOL/View would die as a product, if it were sold for a price. No consumer will acquire REBOL/View if there are no useful REBOL/View scripts around. No developer will invest into a commercial development effort under REBOL/View if there does not exist a large target market that uses REBOL/View. REBOL Technologies still has some way to go before commercial REBOL implementations become profitable. (Just because they're charging a price doesn't meen that they're seeing a return on investment). IMHO the free REBOL/View distribution is a tool to turn commercial REBOL implementations into profit. I think that REBOL/Command (and other commercial REBOL implementations) will sell because of REBOL/View's popularity and acceptance by Internet consumer's. And as a company RT stands and falls with acceptance by consumers, not by developers. Once REBOL/View becomes the consumer's favorite browser, the developers, investors and jobs will come running.

The rational behind this is to place objects that are physically close to each other in the real world close together in computer memory, which we all know is linear and not spherical like the earth. The coordinates are in decimal degrees for the sake of easy manipulation. The max longitude is 180 degrees while the max latitude is 90. Ignore the issue of positive/negative values as indications of north/south east/west locations. The first segment of the numbers would be interleaved on the basis of the non decimal portion of their values (1st three positions assuming required zero padding). The balance of the values would be interleaved on each subsequent pair.

Keep in mind that /Command is an experimental version. To upgrade it go to http://www.rebol.com/xpers/xpers.html and download the latest version. 2. Upgrading /Core: Which /Core version are you currently using? Does there exist a newer stable version, or are you trying to upgrade from/to an experimental version? If that is the case use the above url as well. 3. View: When /View is installed it attempts to write a copy of the /View executable to the target directory. If that target directory is identical to the directory from which you launched /View, then /View will not be able to overwrite itself (MS Windows stops it from doing that). You must unpack /View to a different (for instance temp) directory, and install it from there. If launched from a different directory /View will successfully overwrite the old version of /View it finds in the target directory.

Hi Pete, you wrote: As far as the other files associated with Rebol, how do you handle storage? Under Windows all versions of the REBOL interpreter are called rebol.exe, for instance. So you will have to either rename them, or install them in separate directories. REBOL/View (if I recall correctly), creates a REBOL directory in \Program Files and creates a view directory in the REBOL directory. Core and Command would also normally belong in their own directories. This may be important because you may want to have different entries in the user.r file for different REBOL versions. Either I have multiple versions of the same files in different directories, or I overwrite a script intended for use with View with one that only works in Core, Everything that works in /Core must work in /View and /Command. etc. Maybe scripts should have command: core: and view: blocks that only get executed depending upon the version of rebol being used... You could also call /Core files filename.r, /View files that include /View specific stuff filename.rv and /Command files filename.rc. That would avoid confusion as well. I'm enjoying the book, BTW.

[REBOL] reform, rejoin and separation characters Re:
Hi Terrence, you wrote: Been awhile since I have been able to chew the fat with my fellow rebols, but please correct me if I am wrong, but it seems that rejoin is a reform where the separation character is the empty string as opposed to the space. There's more to it than that. What the two functions have in common is that they reduce their argument, thereby replacing words supplied to them in a block by the values these words are bound to. However, there are quite a few differences that are due to the fact that rejoin and reform descend from different functions that are intended to accomplish different tasks. In some instances rejoin and reform have similar results. (See the differences documented below.) The rejoin function descends from join, whereas the reform function descends from form. The form function (form is a native function) is used to convert any type of value to a string. The join function (join is a mezzanine function) appends its second argument to its first argument. The join function uses form, if its first argument is not a series! type value. (source form, source join). The behavior you observe (preserving spaces or not) results from the fact that the two functions derive (or extend) essentially different functions. Besides the preservation of spaces there are, however, a few more differences: 1. While reform accepts any datatype you must pass a block to rejoin: reform 3 == "3" rejoin 3 ** Script Error: rejoin expected block argument of type: block. ** Where: rejoin 3 reform "abcdef" == "abcdef" rejoin "abcdef" ** Script Error: rejoin expected block argument of type: block. ** Where: rejoin "abcdef" This can become relevant when you are using rejoin or reform programmatically, and you don't know for a certainty, whether or not the argument you will supply to the resomething function will be a block or not. Another difference is the return value: reform [%/d/ "directory"] == "/d/ directory" rejoin [%/d/ "directory"] == %/d/directory type? reform [%/d/ "directory"] == string! type? rejoin [%/d/ "directory"] == file! While reform always returns a string, no matter what it's argument - recall that reform descendants from form, and form's purpose is to convert everything to a string - rejoin returns an argument whose datatype is the datatype of the first element in rejoin's block argument, provided that first element is a series value. After all, rejoin descends from join, and join's purpose is not to convert everything to a string, join's purpose is to join its second argument to its first argument, while preverving the datatype of its first argument, if that datatype is a series! type. If the first element in the block passed to rejoin is a string, or if it is not a series type argument, in these two cases only will rejoin return a value of type string! If you source reform and rejoin, you'll be able to see the difference: source reform reform: func [ "Forms a reduced block and returns a string." value "Value to reduce and form" ][ form reduce value ] source rejoin rejoin: func [ "Reduces and joins a block of values." block [block!] "Values to reduce and join" ][ block: reduce block append either series? first block [copy first block] [ form first block] next block ] In summary, use reform if you would have normally used form, but you must first reduce words contained in a block before the block is converted into a string: a: 1 == 1 form [a] == "a" reform [a] == "1" Use rejoin when you want to append multiple dereferenced words to the leading element, while preserving that leading element's datatype: rejoin [%/d/ "directory"] == %/d/directory That being the case, why not simply one function with different refinements? Then one could separate with the character(s) of choice: rekindle/sepchar [ 1 2 3 ] " " == reform rekindle/sepchar [ 1 2 3 ] ""== rejoin rekindle/sepchar [ 1 2 3 ] ", " == my own home-cooked joinchar. outrageous! The RT people seem kinda resistant to this sort of streamlining for some reason.
