Platforms of Command 2.0
[1/4] from: petr:krenzelok:trz:cz at: 26-May-2001 2:25
Hi,
I just don't fully understand following: Command 2.0 lists QNX RtP and
MacOSX amongst supported platforms, so it means View is supposed to run on
them too....
Is that lack of free time or why there is not View and View/Pro for above
mentioned platforms available?
btw: is there any plan for additional database support, e.g. PostGressSQL (I
was told it is "small" Oracle ... and free) and DB2 or others e.g.?
Maybe RT could tell us what's planned for Rebol 3.0 :-)
PS: OK, so the basic line is out - what's gonna happen next? Two months RT
vacation? :-))
Thanks,
-pekr-

No, there is a note on the order page that Command for QNX/RTP, MacOS X,
Linux MIPS and SCO UnixWare only includes the server portion, not the
View portion.

Yeah, right... :)

Command 2.0 seems to be a "must have", Holger, and it's timing
couldn't be better for me... so an applause (again) for RT.
Now, after this innocent "captatio benevolentiae", a silly question
and a couple of remarks :-)
The silly question: being quite ignorant on *BSD platforms, I need a
confirm that I can compose images (and/or generate a png on-the-fly
for example) using Command 2.0 without having X-Windows installed on
my, say, FreeBSD box. Did I understand this feature correctly?
Two little remarks too.
First, this time your web-page is almost perfect :-). Anyway,
wouldn't be better to put the note you mention above also on the
Command's presentation page?
You'll avoid a delusion to some SCO/QNX/Cobalt/MacOSX potential
customer, who discover he can have a crippled version only, while
having his credit card in his hands already.
Second, MacOSX Command version is missing in the drop-down list of
the order page, while it is declared to be available on the
presentation page. While I'm not too surprised, it is still an
incongruence.
Greetings

Thanks :)

Yes. The regular Command 2.0 (not Command/View) contains the complete
image compositing enginei, include all effects, and image load/save
functions. It does not include text support though (that would require
access to an X server) and does not include VID. Command 2.0 can be used
without any X libraries.

Yes, probably :)

Thanks, I missed that when creating the config file for our new little
shopping cart tool (written in REBOL, of course). Will be added.
