Hi guys, it would sure be nice to have call, encryption, etc, in rebol/core. is a core/pro version in the works? Why not? :-) -- signature indignant: "hey!" -tom

Do you want it in Core so it's free, or so you don't have the overhead of Command/View? If the latter, you can get the SDK and use the /Pro kernel; if the former, CALL *may* be included in future versions of Core (I don't know that RT has committed to it for sure though). From their docs: /Pro is built on top of /Base and includes: Shell - run external applications and commands Library - interface to external libraries (DLLs) FastCGI - fast processing of CGI Registry - access to the windows registry Encryption - Blowfish, Rijndael, AES, and more RSA Encryption - public key encryption DH/DSA Encryption - digital signatures and key exchange SysPort - exception trapping and more If you want all the commercial features in a free version, I guess my answer to "why not?" would be, "How will RT stay in business if they give everything away for free?" -- Gregg

A part of the response is the discussion on the view 1.3 release project track.. : www.rebol.net/cgi-bin/projects/tracks.r?id=196&

RT would probably flourish in a big way, and rebol's user base would double or triple almost overnight. -- signature on the edge: "wheee!" -tom
