Before switching to Rev I was a REBOL coder, I have very fond
memories of REBOL...

If you chappies discussing this thread (most of which is above my
head) think that comparison would be of any value, I suggest you
visit -
http://www.rebol.com
- to see what Carl Sassenrath is doing. Click on the following link:
New REBOL Browser Plugin - New!
New capabilities! Plus support for Firefox/Mozilla/Etc. and Opera
Further information on this development can be found under Carl's
Blog entitled "Browser Plugin Update".
The Windows only version is very much older, and you can see a demo
of it (including the fully automatic installation of the plugin) at
my own site:
http://www.howsoft.com/runrev/vector_graphics_in_revolution.htm
Scroll down to the picture of my sister-in-law's knitting machine
and you will find the instructions for the demo:
"The above shows a Rebol program (script) running via a plugin in
the Internet Explorer/altBrowser. It's a slideshow with 10 raster
images. If you want to see how this works in the Internet Explorer
using a PC (and also in an altBrowser stack once you acquire it),
simply navigate to http://www.howsoft.com/photos for a demo. Rebol
will install its plugin automatically (2 seconds)**, and then the
pictures will be downloaded. Then, you can see the slideshow in the
browser."
[** In the old days - Win XP SP1 - it used to take about 2 seconds
to install this plugin automatically, but now - with SP2 - you have
to give it permission. Nevertheless, it is very quick. What takes
longer is the download of the photos for the demo, but this has
nothing to do with the Rebol plugin itself.]
As far as I can see, this development is relevant to what Rev may
or may not decide to implement in various ways, both technically
and also in terms of keeping up with "what's out there". In short,
just about any program written in Rebol can be run - with no hassle
- in the Windows Internet Explorer. The same facility for Firefox
etc. is still in alpha, but will probably be ready this year.
Everybody speaks about Java, Flash, etc., but nobody seems to be
really aware of what Rebol are up to. Also, as far as I can see, my
little demo is highly relevant to the Web presentation of media.
Just thought I'd mention it.
Regards,
Bob
