Rebol/View has died

 [1/3] from: tim781:pacbell at: 28-Mar-2001 6:43


Rebol/View is no longer free and they have'nt yet wrote a good help file for it. The scripting language is great. I can't image a researcher, scientist, doctor, lawyer, journalist, etc. not finding it a valuable tool. But, how will they find out about it when you have to pay for it. Rebol needs something to fuel it's growth. Rebol is better than javascript but will never become as popular without 'everyday' people using it and talking about it. That won't happen since the word shareware turns many away from trying a program. timmy :(

Hi Timmy, Rebol/Link/World will step in to replace Rebol/View soon and will be free. See info on Rebol/Link/World here: http://rebol.com/products.html Regards, Anton.

You won't have to pay for Rebol/Link/World. (You might have to wait a short while, though.)

Hey - my english is not so good but as far as I can understand from RT website content - there WILL be free /View - look at product section and find description for Rebol/Link/Word - it's supposed to be replacement for current View .... way better one ... supports drawing as image effect for e.g. ;-) Cheers, -pekr-
