[REBOL] location independant code

From: antonr::iinet::net::au at: 28-Mar-2003 20:23

I just thought of a way of making my
code more portable.

Currently, I do similar to this in all my scripts:

	site: http://www.lexicon.net/anton/rebol/
	do load-thru site/library/include.r
	...

And when I change my webspace provider I have to go
through all my scripts and change the site to the
new address. With the help of rebol, that's not very
hard. But there's a better way!
Rebol Tech has provided an index of rebsites.
As long as I maintain the link there to my rebsite,
I can use the same code to determine the site:

	site: select load-thru http://www.reboltech.com/index.r [folder "Anton"]
	clear find site %index.r
	; == http://www.lexicon.net/anton/rebol/

And if I move I just update Rebol Tech's index.
Cool! Now why didn't I realise that before?

Anton.
