[ALLY] Re: [REBOL] About View

HI list,
I'm a little confused ....
this statement does not agree with the website (which I now assume is
incorrect) ....
Can someone tell us more about the difference between View and Link?
I would certainly be buying either Rebol/View/Pro or Rebol/Link/Pro.
(For those of thus that havent been beta testing Link)
Would the price or Rebol/View/Pro be similar to Rebol/Link/Pro ??
Is there anything in View that wouldnt be in Link?
(Like drawing functions).
Cheers Phil

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.

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.

View/Pro 1.0 in less than a week.
