Hello Christopher,

Why not? I can imagine lots of /View faces(applets) built inside the html
code and running some background tasks(streaming...) on webpage page...

Yes, but why to hide such a good product and not show it to really big "WWW
audience"?

Sure, but I think its not so hard to recognize what system/platform is user
running and offer him proper plugin binary for download...
I'm not any expert in plugin field but I think it is probably similar work
to port rebol executable or rebol plugin for specific platform/system....or
maybe I'm wrong(send flames to me C programmers:)))?

I absolutely agree, I really love all that SMALL but GREAT rebol proggies. I
feel they should together create one big living entity but this need a lot
of work and human power beacuse TIME is our enemy in this strange
world...and we need to spread this technology as fast as we are able. So why
don't use such a great and fast highway as WEB is?
Finally, it is up to RT and instead of typing this stupid text I could make
a little /View script ;-)
