Adminning a real certification program may be a distraction from the Rebol companies main tasks right now. I would suggest just a page on www.rebol.org where rebol-friendly isps could post and announcement/link blurb. Pricewise - is that $20/month??? and is the 200Mb disk space or bandwidth -

questions: 1. per earlier responses: x: make string! 100 creates a string of length 0 with 100 bytes of storage allocated to it. Is there any way to display this storage allocation? Ditto for other datatypes. 2. is == exactly the

Here are three more questions: 1. x/:i syntax can get but not set values in a block... why? 2. y: make string! 100 creates a string of length 0... why? rebol dictionary entry implies 100 would be length or value... 3. is there any difference between a

[REBOL] Q on Array of Objects Re:(2)

1999-11-27 Thread wwink2
I tried this in the script/run included here. It doesn't seem to work when the functions are methods in an object - or else the syntax is a little more complex. I've tried a couple of variations of the syntax, but still get error msgs rather than an answere one way or the other. Lasislav

[REBOL] Q on Array of Objects

1999-11-26 Thread wwink2
I am considering writing an app that would create several hundred or a few thousand copies of a single object. One way to keep track of them is to use an array. A script that tests this syntax is below along with a run which does a "print mold" on the array. It appears that the

My understanding was that tail recursion ( or its optimized implementation ) gives a (properly written) recursive program the efficiency of an iterative program. Thus it is a very desirable capability to build into a language which is intended to use a lot of recursive program structures.

I am still confused ... when you say "I had to upgrade my server in order to run Rebol" what does this mean? Do you have a separate physical machine located at their physical site which they maintain and do the admin work for - in this case, I understand, although I suspect that's a bit

I take it that you consider their service has been good. Their software arrangements are unusual, and new to me. I am just starting to study their offerings, and haven't seen anything like it elsewhere - it sounds like you control your own config like a webmaster would on a private machine -

Granted, the effort is not great and if I control a web server, it should be easy to do. However, many small web developers have their sites hosted by commercial web site hosting companies which supply the hardware, 24x7 staff, comm lines, *and* control the software which may be used to build

Does Vservers.com *know* you are doing this, and *approve* of it. It may work, but if you have not cleared this with them, they may be just a mite bit unhappy if they find out. I'm not an expert, but the web hosts I've looked at are very particular about what types of programs and
