Yes, you can't replace PP. As for presentations - Scala is e.g. definity much
better, smoother, everything than PP .... But, as for Rebol, I think that you could
use some kind of Encapped player app, featuring presentation scripts/dialects ....
that way you could distribute your presentations ...
If you want other ppl (business ppl) to see your presentation though, you are right
that you would be better with PP probably, as nearly every office owns MSOffice
already.
As for multimedia presentations (Scala), Rebol doesn't provide us level of Scala
presentations smoothness/quality, and multimedia is not RT's priority for near
future, so ....
