The Zine is fantastic at showing off some wonderfully innovative thinking. Great job people! Brett.

I'm a JDC member and I've signed up to the Tech Tips and newsletter they send out every so often. This second /zine issue was far more interesting and better presented than any of the JDC mailings (and, IMO, that's saying a lot)!

Hmmm... On the browser I'm using at the moment (Netscape 4.76 on RedHat Linux 7.1) both Zine pages display as blank, except for the "REBOLforces" header. I've browsed around the site a bit; all other pages appear to work fine. Perhaps an html glitch? -jn- ------------------------------------------------------------ Programming languages: compact, powerful, simple ... Pick any two! joel'dot'neely'at'fedex'dot'com

Joel, Thanks for letting me know, I probably busted the html in my make-doc formatter, I'll check it out tomorrow. (1 am for me now) -- Allen K

I just downloaded the lastest build of Mozilla (2001062815) and on this, the text stretches far off to the right. The pages also fail the W3C validation service at: http://validator.w3.org/ -- Graham Chiu

There does indeed appear to be a glitch produced by a slightly modified version of the %make-spec.r program. A single missing tag is rendering the entire page unreadable on NS4... Also on NS4, the stylesheet is hidden (it crashed the browser - so much for standards compliance) and I am working on one specifically for that browser. As to the lines on the latest Mozilla, I haven't seen this bug on the version I tested with (again this could relate to the modified make-spec). Finally validation, RF is currently evolving (I hope the design is to most peoples' tastes) and the final version will probably validate to HTML 4.01 Transitional - almost but not quite Strict. I welcome any feedback here, at my own email address and on RIM to anything related to design and RF. - Chris

I suspect the text stretches as far as the longest code example, which may be long if the line endings are being ignored... Does that describe your problem?

Unfortunately my prototype (which validated perfectly :o) got a bit mangled by Allen's make-spec (still a work in progress, but blame where blame is due :o). I may get some control over it again, in which case, the final RF *will* validate. Thanks for the feedback, - Chris
