First of all I would like to say that I very appreciate your work (and
it's more important to see some progress in these times when it looks
that Carl is more working on his farm brewing his own beer and vine
than working on Rebol) but I can't help myself and must say that you
cannot beat Flash without Carl's help. For animations your agg-draw is
still pretty slow (but great for static rendering).
I did this Rebol/Flash script in 10 minutes to show you, that Flash is
still much more faster in animations:

Next thing is, that it requires Rebol license to run your script so
you cannot use it as a plugin (which is still available only for M$!(
And I really don't like encaped scripts as other people cannot see the
source to learn something new - encaping kills the rebolution.
And last thing: you should list that the AGG DLL is not your work - in your
zip file there is no message that it's originally Maxim's work (and
I'm sure he will not like it!) And as his project is free, I think that
you could provide your modified DLL source as well.
I know that you are now on holiday so enjoy, I'm looking forward to
seeing you again to discuss your work:)
