Nope. -Bruno -- Bruno G. Albuquerque [bga--din--uem--br] BeDevId #15362 Grupo Brasileiro de Usuários de BeOS - Presidente http://www.bug-br.org.br Have you noticed that all you need to grow healthy, vigorous grass is a crack in your sidewalk?

Yes, at last an UNIX box with a first class interface. Unfortunately, it seems the Mac platform has a very low priority for Rebol Tech guys. I can understand them, but it's a real pity! IMHO, MacOS X could be a terrific development platform for Internet-oriented applications. -- Paolo Russo [pa--russo--perd--com] _________________ PERD s.r.l.

No, not at all. Core is currently available in four versions for MacOS (68k, PPC and FAT for MacOS 7/8/9, and PPC for MacOS X). Our MacOS X box has been down with hardware problems for a while, but those problems appear to be resolved now, after some long hours during the last few days. We expect the upcoming Core 2.5 release to be available in all four Mac versions. We would love to have a Link or View version for Mac, but at the moment do not have the manpower to develop one. It is still planned for the future, though. -- Holger Kruse [holger--rebol--com]

How many people on Mac OS9 are paying for: Filemaker (www.filemaker.com as database) Lasso (www.blueworld.com - as middleware) or WebSiphon (www.purity.com - as middleware) WebStar (www.starnine.com as server ) ?? I think half of those users will switch to apache-maysql-php4 or other *nix solution because: webstar is doing lots of promesses..,but Apache just work and is free filemaker (tourtle database??) lasso: here is the point: lasso can't compete in no way with rebol and people when upgrading to OSX will probably look for alternatives. why not rebol? I did, I'm a very happy guy 8) what I miss: I hate JAVA but on OSX, java applications can easly integrate aqua interface, would it be possible for rebol/view to access it ? Applescript: system scripting language, very powerful for interapplication communication but tooo much code to write, can't compete with rebol, so it would be really nice to have rebol as an OSA script or a rebol dialect generating applescipt code. 1more point: I would say 80% or more mac people have no clue of *nix but going to OSX they will at some time go to the terminal application and discover shells.. Live could be so easy if they could use rebol as shell,cgi programming,interapplication communication and of course multiplatform (already embedded) communication.. sorry for my really bad english 8(( PS: current xpers of core for OSX is expired and released version 2.2 is not working well with network stuf. Tonight at 24:00 , OSX will be released any chance to have an updated xpers 8)))))))))))))))))))))))) greatings, Will Arp

Holger, I understand perfectly that the low priority on Mac is due to lack of manpower and not to lack of interest. I know rebellions head for Capital City first. So I'm waiting for better times as a faithful rebel. :-) Meanwhile, I appreciate the /core versions very much. But you can't stop me from drooling about /Link or /View ;-) -- Paolo Russo [pa--russo--perd--com] _________________ PERD s.r.l. Virtual Technologies for Real Solutions http://www.perd.com

Four is not all :) There's A\UX (68k) as well, and ..ahm.. Newton OS (SA110) :) -- kolla
