[ALLY] Re: [REBOL] About View

Phil,
You can think of Link as View with the addition of API functions for
connecting to and synchronizing with REBOL/Serve. Otherwise, they should
be identical. This is a simplified explanation, but may help to draw
a picture (using View and Link's drawing functions, of course). ;-)
Oh, also Link has a built-in desktop while View will likely not (except
by way of an external script).
