I just forgot to comment to this one - the doc is very nice! One of my friends asked me just last week about some docs for rebol. Dictionary and draw related docs are good addition ... -pekr-

what is the purpose? wasn't there already one package rebol format? My idea is: 1) add .zip scheme to rebol - would be loved by many devs. imo ... 2) the question - will 'upgrade command be operational in future once again? As currently there is several places to download from, and whole .rcb stuff could be hidden from eyes of ppl downloading/upgrading 3) we should move towards components - it leads us there logically anyway ;-) We are not just rigid and brave enough in that area. From Cerebrus example we know, that we can have incremental download (using XOR). So e.g. if Core 2.5.4 is superset of Base 2.5.4, maybe those with already having Base in-place, could just download some XY KBs, which would be XORed against Base to create Core :-)

I can still see it in news section. I think that reference to above mentioned doc is not on the main site for quite some time ... -pekr-

Cool. More docs. See bottom for a script to download the entire dictionary, so you can browse it offline/locally. Just ensure that location is set to where you prefer. Anton.

This could be the beginning of a program: view center-face layout [ backdrop [unfocus] h1 "RCB Archiver" space 0x16 across style label label 80 label "Source" field button 30 "..." [request-file] return label "Action" rotary "Decompress" "Compress" [print first face/data] return label "Destination" field button 30 "..." [request-file] return ] Anton.

and cutting and pasting into core worked! Now where are the docs so we can use it?rcb
