[REBOL] Strange problem with View

From: cyoungbl::legato::com at: 3-Aug-2001 14:33

Okay, going on with my checkerboard attempts, I'm creating a checkerboard
and just toying around with how I'm going to display pieces.  Here is some
code that draws red pieces on every other row of green squares:

grey-square: [ box silver 50x50 ]
green-square: [ box leaf 50x50 ]

checkerboard: [
	across
	space 0x0
]
loop 4 [
	loop 4 [
		append checkerboard grey-square
		append checkerboard green-square
		append checkerboard [
			pad -38x12
			box red 26x26 effect [ oval 0.128.0 ]
			pad 12x-12
		]
	]
	append checkerboard 'return
	loop 4 [
		append checkerboard green-square
		append checkerboard grey-square
	]
	append checkerboard 'return
]
append checkerboard 'origin
view layout checkerboard

The problem I'm having is with the oval command.  It is supposed to set the
color around the oval to the tuple you give it.  0.128.0 is supposed to be
the same as the green color.  It's not (at least not when _I_ run it).
However, if I substitute it with 200.200.200 I definitely see a difference.
It's almost like it's converting the edge color into grayscale.  I'm running
the latest Win2k version.  Could someone please try this code and tell me if
they get similar results?

Thanks,
Carl Youngblood
