[REBOL] Re: Function "LAUNCH" - Usage questions
From: mark:jobstreet at: 11-Jun-2002 12:30
1) Agree.... a lot of the function needed can not be implemented well without
true multitasking especially a lot of Network programming that need
multithreads.
2) Low level socket programming is available in Rebol. However, good
proper documentation is not available (or I don't know), making low level
socket programming a difficult task.
