REBOL compiler?

Hi all Does anybody know if there is a compiler for rebol available? Yes I know, the fact that it uses an interpreter makes it more easily portable etc., but what if you like to give somebody a useful rebol application and the person has no rebol interpreter installed on her/his computer (many people will be overtaxed, just when interpreter) ? I really like rebol, but is there just one compiler out there? Cheers, Val

Hi Val, << Does anybody know if there is a compiler for rebol available?

REBOL is very dynamic and Carl has stated that some issues might be tough to solve (like dynamically creating code segments on some platforms). In any case, you can bind your script to the interpreter with their encap tool, but you have to buy that. That gives you a single EXE deployment mechanism. --Gregg

Val, REBOL/Encap is not a compiler but it does encapsulate your REBOL scripts with the executable making it a one-file standalone .exe. Contact REBOL about pricing. Bohdan "Bo" Lechnowsky Freelance Technology/REBOL Consultant At 04:41 PM 7/29/02 +0200, you wrote:

Thanks a lot Greg and Bo! I will have to buy it ;-) Cheers, Val

Hi, There is a *compiler* available. It really just takes your code and wraps it into the compiler in the place of the desktop. There is a price to though, send an email to cindy-at-rebol-dot-com and she can get you the details, tell her you are interested in the Royalty program.
