Rebol novice questions

 [1/4] from: serissa::lineone::net at: 31-Jul-2000 19:57


I have an interest as a hobby in writing a text word based music language, The present version in Linux Perl/Tk is becoming very large and unwieldy. I was considering moving to Forth, but a few days ago discovered REBOL may I ask firstly, I find the sample View text-edit.r is very slow taking 0.5 secs to accept a char, have I made a error in my install ,something not set correctly ? A full screen Rebol editor would be very useful. It would be nice to have shell access is this possible? I rely on another Linux program to convert the text to a Midi file, and again another one to play it! though I am thinking of writing out the Midi File directly this time are there any Midi Rebol functions to to deal with Midi files? or is it possible to write something like the Perl pack function? 'scuse my quetions if they are obvious, I have the Rebol book on order but it's going to take a while to get to the UK.

There is still some optimising to be done in the View beta. The speed of a large editable area is one one of them. Currently, if you reduce the area e.g halve the height, you will get a more reasonable edit speed. This might be an indicator of the improvement to come, in the experimental version of BeOS I find that a large screen edit is faster than std native BeOS editor. So I'm waiting to see if this improvement will be the same across all platforms with the next beta release. Cheers, Allen K

I believe Rebol/Command addresses this, but I haven't used it.

None that I know of. Brett
