[REBOL] Re: About View

Carl,
I am definitely interested in the /VIEW/PRO and the /CORE/PRO. Especially
at those prices. I'm gonna have to balk this time at the /COMMAND price
tho. Just outta my range is all. And I'm sure that many of those on this
list will also support your company in this manner. we all are in the same
boat ya know, trying to make a living. I'm sure everyone here realizes
that you need to make money also to keep supporting Rebol. And from what
I've read in the list you have some people out there that are fairly
commited to using Rebol as a viable cross-platform programming language and
tool. Keep up the good work there.
thx

About REBOL/View... funny that you ask, because:
The REBOL team held a three hour meeting yesterday to discuss REBOL/View
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.
The demand for such a product seems high. We get a lot of email from users
who want it. Of course, our hope is that all of you will want to buy the
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.
I should point out that REBOL/View is not REBOL/Link. There would be no
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.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide more detail at this time. We are still
planning it out. However, if the decision is to proceed, we would release
View/Pro 1.0 in less than a week.
Please let us know your thoughts.
REBOL as always,
-Carl
