This might be slightly more accurate/faster:

It's a roleplaying game, available from FASA. Basically, Cyberpunk
mixed with AD&D and real Central American mythology, set in the year
2050.

Hi Joel,
You are certainly correct in pointing out that pointers and indexes can be
converted into each other. But you do have to be careful:
I am sure you agree with me that if i is an index into a buffer,
int i; char buf[10], *p;
then trying to access the element at buf[i] is quite somethi
Hi Elan
Thanks for the comment. I agree. Actually, I am experimenting with trying to
implement Lisp (actually Scheme) programming techniques in REBOL. Capturing
state in a function is one of the basic techniques emphasized in Structure

Hi -t,
why not write a C or Java source code generator in REBOL?
You'll have to learn what a Java or C source file looks like. Let's take C.
Normally a C file is either a source code file, or a header file. A code
file (typically filename.c) will begin by including some header files such as:

I attempted to try your example, but I ran into a glitch:

Yup, that works. But you could also nest timings with a simple change to
tic3 and toc3.

toc: func [] [
print ["elapsed time:" now/time - first second second :tic]
remove second second :tic

I'm also interested in a good challenge - and I happen to be looking for an

This approach really makes good use of REBOL's abilities. While it looks
trivial, I think that functions, which create functions, which in turn

I like your tic toc pair. However I sometimes wish to nest their use as in
the example:

Hi all
Below are some handy timer functions for REBOL. The idea of tic and toc
comes from the MATLAB numeric package. One advantage of using a pair of
functions is that they can be placed most anywhere in a piece of code
without modifying it (as is sometimes necessary with the time-block

What about:

It shouldn't be a problem to build that.

Hi Petra,
it is a bitter truth. Jobwise you will currently find more opportunities
with Perl than with REBOL. You will also find far more competent
competitors in the market.
