Hi, Awesome !!! When ? How ? I've been playing with an idea for a multi-os software, hope View will find it's way on WindowsCE / PocketPC ! That would definitively make me happy ! Best, Chris

Nice to see it prominent. Will scripts multi-task with it, though? (Without the need for launching a new REBOL for each of them.) The pic on the homepage suggests this and it was promised for REBOL after Express was released, but I've seen nothing to suggest this in Core2.5. -- Carl Read [carl--cybercraft--co--nz]

That depends on the scripts. Arbitrary scripts cannot multi-task at this time, because REBOL does not have full multi-threading yet. We will probably add that in a future version. However View scripts tend to be event-driven (triggered by mouse clicks etc.), and it is often possible to have multiple event-driven scripts running in parallel, in separate windows under the same REBOL process, even without real multi-threading. REBOL/Link (client side of REBOL/Express) contains some "magic" in its application framework to do this transparently, so the same View/Link script can be run either stand-alone or as one of several simultaneously running "applications" from the Link desktop, without changing the script. We might provide something similar for View once the desktop is added (in version 1.1), but no promises quite yet :). -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]

Thanks for the reply Holger. Nice to know that do/new may eventually come. (: I see I don't have to ask if drawing commands will be in View, anyway. See the bottom of the view-guide people.... On 05-Apr-01, Holger Kruse wrote:
