I know much more things than you about the server that host my site (thor.prohosting.com) because I wrote a CGI script that let me browse the filesystem of the server, and view the error log file of the server. But this didn't helped me. REBOL returns an error code of 1 or 2 when I remotely run it

The problem with REBOL and SSL is that REBOL can not yet download files using the HTTPS protocol (URLs that begin with https://). This is a problem if you want to develop a web client script that need to talk with a securised web server. But in your case you don't care because you are developping

Do you think that %"" should be accepted as a valid filename ? Personnally I don't think so, because no operating system I know accept that. %"" should return . This would solve many issues with filename handling (split-path, clean-path). Another related problem: >> to file! none == %none It sho

I think that precision when dealing with money is very important (more important than speed). Money values should be handled internally as an string of decimal digits, as in COBOL. Very big numbers are frequent when you deal with money : $1,000,000,000 converted to a weakest currency can have 5 or

When you read a line with read/lines, the result is a block of string!. So you are sorting string! "objects". What you have to do in fact is to split the string and convert the first member to date: Here is a sample : a: parse "1-Feb-2000 bla bla bla" none reduce [ to-date first a second a third
