Oh, I think I now know the sound of one hand clapping.
The lead-in on the main page says, "REBOL/View is Free. Upgrade to Pro
for Only $49." This link clicks through to a page where it says,
REBOL/View - Free - Downloads in seconds.
Only further down the page
is there a pronouncement that it may not really be free. This method of
lead-in is misleading. It is likely unintentional, but it is
misleading, in my opinion. I guess Joanna was closer to being right
this morning. Sorry, Joanna.
