Both of them. In real, REBOL Apache module is very nicely configurable. I've
heard gurus :-) speaking of
much more deep configurability than e.g. PHP. You can install your own handlers,
it's just REBOL code, right?
So, you can insert code to be processed by SSI handler, and you can run directly
.r files - that's the benefit, as
REBOL/Apache module is preloaded, and that means it doesn't need to start rebol
to execute the script ....

I would like to see an ordinary xBase databases (.dbf). They are simple and
editable in many external environments. They are
powerfull enough even for tens of thousands of records ....
