Newbie questions:

 [1/3] from: peter:rochon:sympatico:ca at: 16-Oct-2001 11:11


Hi all: New to Rebol and new to programming. A few questions for the Rebol gurus: 1) Can anyone point me to a commercial/shareware application built using Rebol? I would like to see the packaging and trial functions. 2) Can Rebol View render html pages? Or do I need to use an external library in View/Pro for browser render functions? 3) I have several basic scripts that run thru out the day. Is there a process manager that helps with viewing and managing several running scripts? 4) Rebol License question: What exactly do I need to build and sell shareware applications using Rebol? Rebol/command $349.00? Rebol/View Pro $99.00? and 10% of revenues? 5) Does Rebol/View support drag and drop from one "area" to another? Cheers Peter

I haven't seen any that are packaged up, but this is easy enough to do with a process called encapsulation (aka Encap). Encap basically just makes your script an .exe, protecting the source--though not compiled. I have heard of people using this, but I dont have links to any commercial or shareware products. I think the majority of stuff produced so far is freeware, and I imagine many custom applications have been built too. I should be beginning my first venture using REBOL/View in a few weeks. I would be using C for the high speed image processing and hardware control, and View for the user interface and networking. I dont plan on using Encap though, as hidden source is not important on this one.

REBOL uses your systems browser to view webpages. I am sure many have considered writing one in REBOL. I have avoided the project by convincing myself that after completing such a project, I would be too old to enjoy it.

No.

Also check out REBOL/Alliance. About $500 a year or so. Sounded like a good deal to me, but I cannot recall the details.

Not easily, but its defineately within its capabilities.

Ryan: Thanks for taking the time to answer the questions. The Rebol community seems very active on this list. I purchased and received "Rebol The official Guide", got some learning to do. Cheers Peter (aka Rebol guru wannabe)
