[REBOL] Re: About View

Hi Carl
Excellent! I am looking forward to an official release of View. I hope the
decision will be to proceed. Two quick questions.
1) Will the official View (if released) include the reb capability? (I think
that it is one of the best features of View.)
2) Will there be (in future) a runtime packaging capability, similar to that
for Command? This would allow developers to create and distribute stand
alone GUI applications for View. VID provides the best GUI creation
environment I know of and it would make sense to provide for it's use in
developing stand-alone apps.

and its future. We came up with an excellent solution that provides a free
version of View that is upgradable to a professional version that includes a
few additional components, such as command shell, library access, and
encryption.
> The demand for such a product seems high. We get a lot of email from users
who want it. Of course, our hope is that all of you will want to buy the
View/Pro product. And, that you would convince your friends, companies,
comrades, and neighbors to buy it too. We need that to happen! Tell
everyone.

auto-sync, Serve side, desktop, installer, etc. But, it does provide a
solid 1.0 for you to rely on. It would be official... and no more
expiration woes.
> Unfortunately, I cannot provide more detail at this time. We are still
planning it out. However, if the decision is to proceed, we would release
View/Pro 1.0 in less than a week.
