Wow Terry, this stuff would make excellent contribution to the REBOL/Zine
columns. I am particularly interested in these recent emails as I use /Pro
myself. More importantly, one of the companies I support has a custom built
application that they built and have extensive problems with and were
approached about REBOL but it failed the evaluation as soon as they
discovered it couldnt print. The company wants the end-user to be able to
direct print jobs to any available printer installed on the win based
machine. Any idea how to print to printer via the /library method?

Howdy, Paul, Terry:

Exactly! Terry started posting these on the list minutes
before the presses rolled. I was tempted to grab them real
quick but time was short. :-(
But this is a great example! You find a tip or trick,
something nifty that you don't think is widely known.
Certainly we want to share these with the community and the
mailing list is good at doing that.
But of course, it will be easier for people to find these
kinds of tips and tricks in the Zine because that's what the
Zine's all about, and a nifty trick can get buried in the
rest of the list traffic and many who come later may never
see it. But they may very well flip to page 4 of REBOL/Zine
issue 9 Volume 6 and see your tip. :-)
Send your guru stuff to both places if you like-- The nice
thing about sending it into the Zine as well is that gives
implicit permission to print it.
( Of course, I think it's fun to have a few tricks that
people haven't already seen on the list show up in the
zine too! (-: )
