[REBOL] Re: REBOL compiler?

Hi Val,
<< Does anybody know if there is a compiler for rebol available? Yes I know,
the fact that it uses an interpreter makes it more easily portable etc., but
what if you like to give somebody a useful rebol application and the person
has no rebol interpreter installed on her/his computer (many people will be
overtaxed, just when interpreter) ?>>
There is no compiler, and likely won't be (at least not a complete one).
REBOL is very dynamic and Carl has stated that some issues might be tough to
solve (like dynamically creating code segments on some platforms).
In any case, you can bind your script to the interpreter with their encap
tool, but you have to buy that. That gives you a single EXE deployment
mechanism.
