View/Pro is not included.

Correct, there is no replacement.

That won't work. You need to build your script first with
the #include statements, and *then* run it with rebface.
#include is a preprocessor statement, and is not
understood by rebface.

If you have the "title" option in the encap header, it
won't build the binary .. bug.
Quickest thing to do if you didn't follow the above is:
1. Download a Altme client from www.safeworlds.com
2. Log onto rebol world and request an account
3. Someone there can talk you thru building an encap
application
