[REBOL] Core/View/etc. install plan Re:

2000-08-15 Thread agem



Have rebol/view named rebolv and same home .. on linux, works.

 hiall -
 
 I know I queried regarding this before, but apparently failed to retain any
 answer that made sense to me.
 
 If I want to install Core and View, do I need to have them separate, or could I
 put everything together except the executables (sounds unlikely), or do I need
 both installed at all? 
 
 Is Core a subset of View?
 

yes

 Is the latest Core inherently more stable than the latest View? Or is it just
 the View-y parts of View that are less stable?
 

normaly "official" view is more stable because of
more recent, more bugs fixed. i think the beta means
"don't rely on view/dialect, may be changed". otherwise
they have to be carefull to keep legacy-code running.

 Is there an easy way of separating usr-lib and example scripts that only pertain
 to one executable or the other?
 

[if system/product = 'view [ -script- ]] ; r = 'core or = 'command
you can have a /core -version which checks for view
to popup some choice-buttons :)

Not entirely sure why you would have to have them in the same directory,
unless you are thinking about a single script library. I have a single
"Rebol" directory with subdirectories of "Core" and "View". Each of these
have their own standard .r files (user.r). I have a script manager that is
defined in both user.r files so that it can utilise a shared script library
for common scripts and specific script libraries if necessary.

 Is Core a subset of View?

Yup. So unless you specifically want an exe without the GUI you can get away
without Core - except that is the one that is non-beta.

I think only RT could really answer this one properly.

See above.
