[REBOL] Re: Building scripts
From: chalz:earthlink at: 16-Jan-2002 13:27
I'm just making sure I get fully what you're asking.
Essentially, something like Java's method of including libraries like
import x.y.z
for more 'refined' control of what's included? Only, instead
of copying the extraneous code into the compiled result, do something more
like (I'm not using totally proper REBOL, I know; demonstration purpose):
math: link rdb://math.rlib
...
...
result: math/tally arg1 arg2
Where 'rdb' refers to a site and port for a REBOL database, and 'rlib'
refers to REBOL library, and accessing a specific function within the
math.rlib could be used like accessing a member of a block. Of course, it
would require the script be executed in a networked environment (you could
re-define the REBOL library database with rdb://anothersite.com/inet.rlib)
of some flavor - but most people executing REBOL already are. Is this what
you mean? I asked Carl about this a while back, but it was kind of long -
he might have skipped it, or taken me for someone who never looked at IOS ;)
