Hi Jim: That part worked thanks! However, if have not gotten the results that I had hoped for. I had assumed that skip fp 10 would take me to offset 10. It appears that it has not. TestBin.txt contains the characters: "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" The following code :

pesky little questions howdy guys, I've a few smallish questions that have been pestering me. Like this one: compressing a file is pretty easy. compress read %this.file (right?) How can I get the compressed data into a script so that I can use it there? I guess a gif would be in the same

Hi all, Here's something I've been thinking about since talking to a friend about REBOL and its prospects. He said that just about any scripting language can handle scripts of a few hundred lines, but the real challenge for REBOL will be in whether or not it can handle large-scale programs as
