[REBOL] Re: Watson - what is so special about it?
From: dada:gecko:verizon at: 25-Aug-2002 21:22
One of the things that excited me about Rebol was this kind of
cross-platform interconnectivity. True, let's build a Watson-like
product in Rebol. Fine.
The trouble I've found -- this weekend trying to automate some file
handling tasks on my iMac -- is that Rebol is not native to each OS. An
instance of Rebol has to be running in order to execute the .r
scripts -- or am I missing something?
I ended up using Applescript, because it would run on double-click from
the desktop. Same with some apps I'm working on for windows -- Rebol has
to be running to launch the apps.
Is there a way around this? If not, then I'm afraid that
platform-dependency is what's going to happen, and Rebol will be lost.
Hoping for a solution,
sd
