[REBOL] Re: Reference docs for View

From: rgaither:triad:rr at: 10-Jul-2001 8:24

Hi Mike, I also find easyvid to be an excellent tool. More in the tutorial fashion than reference docs but regardless it would be great to help get it to the next level. I'm in that same camp though of needing it, not really being able to help much in improving it or adding new content. Thanks, Rod.
