Yes, we use REBOL for our ordering system. While we extensively use PHP for
other purposes, the secure order system is pure REBOL.

Hi,
I can only suggest (as I don't have any large system developer myself yet
using rebol):
- Rebol Express
contact also Steve Shireman, he seems to use it in his company ... I hope
Steve is still reading ally list posts :-)
- someone (?) have reimplemented Danish military system apps in 6 months -
done in rebol ... it was very nice story ...
- Alexander Books - ordering based upon rebol & php combination?
I just today started "possible rebol projects" on main rebol ml. Maybe you
could repost your message there?

If there was such a project, I would be glad to exchange
informations with the author !
Just a joke ;-) I think you're talking about our project *CyberCAT*
for the BELGIAN Armed Forces.
FYI, we're working on converting the DHTML-Java GUI into /View.
First part in production: within a month...

Hello Tom,
Maybe you should have a look at SWIS on my rebsite. I know the system is
still in works but it shows possibilities of REBOL usage in building
distributed computing(core of the system has just about 50Kb).
Regards,
Cyphre

I have just made a "Rebol VR" program,
where user interacts with the window
to rotate a Dilbert doll in 16 images.
I will post it soon to "Anton" reb-site.
Anton.

Hi All,
Thanks to everyone who sent their submissions.
Thanks to you I had enough good examples to
sent to the writer from Technology Review. I
will of course inform the Ally list if anything
comes of this.
As for the future, we are going to try and
maintain a list of all active REBOL project
and systems, so if you have something new,
or even something old that we don't know about,
please send us some information about it.
Well thanks again, and good luck all.
Yours truly,
Tom Chang

Hi All,
It's me again. I have some potentially good new
for REBOL allies. A writer for the Technology
Review has just contacted me because he's interested
in writing a story about REBOL and lightweight
distributed computing.
For those of you who don't know, Technology Review
is the monthly magazine put out by MIT. It's
readership includes not only all MIT staff and
alums, but also a large number of CTOs, CEOs, and
other decision makers at tech companies both large
and small. As such being featured in an article
like this could be a real coup for us.
Before he pitches the story to his editors though,
he's asked for "two or three cases where REBOL is
being used in an interesting way? It doesn't have
to be something deployed by a Fortune 500 company --
just some cases uf use now which you think
prefigure the future of lightweight distibuted
computing?"
So far I have one. As such, I need your help. If
anyone out there in REBOL Land has built an
interesting REBOL based system or application, I
would very much like to hear from you ASAP.
For those of you who work in large companies and
have to deal with things like Promotion Limitations,
Trademarks, and other "Use of Name" issues, please
note that we WILL NOT publish or print any
information about you, your company, or your project.
Rather this information will simply be used to help
convince the editors of Tech Review to approve a
feature on REBOL. Then if the story is approved,
and /if and only if/ you and your company signs off
on it, is ther the possibility that any information
about you and your organization be published.
Well I appreciate all your help, and I look forward
to hearing about all the great things everyone is
working on.
Also be sure to keep your eyes out in the next few
weeks for a piece on REBOL by John Dovorak, and an
article featuring Carl and REBOL in the Washington Post.
Take care, and thanks in advance for all your help!
Yours truly,
Tom Chang
