Core/View/etc. install plan
[1/3] from: zoon::stumpworld::com at: 15-Aug-2000 10:44
hiall -
I know I queried regarding this before, but apparently failed to retain any
answer that made sense to me.
If I want to install Core and View, do I need to have them separate, or could I
put everything together except the executables (sounds unlikely), or do I need
both installed at all?
Is Core a subset of View?
Is the latest Core inherently more stable than the latest View? Or is it just
the View-y parts of View that are less stable?
Is there an easy way of separating usr-lib and example scripts that only pertain
to one executable or the other?

yes

normaly "official" view is more stable because of
more recent, more bugs fixed. i think the beta means
don't rely on view/dialect, may be changed
. otherwise
they have to be carefull to keep legacy-code running.

[if system/product = 'view [ -script- ]] ; r = 'core or = 'command
you can have a /core -version which checks for view
to popup some choice-buttons :)

Not entirely sure why you would have to have them in the same directory,
unless you are thinking about a single script library. I have a single
Rebol
directory with subdirectories of "Core" and "View". Each of these
have their own standard .r files (user.r). I have a script manager that is
defined in both user.r files so that it can utilise a shared script library
for common scripts and specific script libraries if necessary.

Yup. So unless you specifically want an exe without the GUI you can get away
without Core - except that is the one that is non-beta.

I think only RT could really answer this one properly.
