Hi Anton,
I just ran REBOL/View from my REBOL home directory to test the
default install behavior. I was able to rename rebol.exe to
another file name (blah.bak) and then write out a random file
downloaded from a remote web site
I just tried opening a copy of my rebol.exe,
named rebolblah.exe and within the rebol console
to delete %rebolblah.exe.
This produces a write access error.
As far as I know you can't modify a running executable.
That's on WindowsXP.
I can't remember if Win9x allows that. Anyone ?

Can we add it to REBOL.org somewhere (with due credit of course)?

Hi Brian,
Thanks very much! It would be really terrific if you could do your
review and coordinate a couple other volunteers (anyone willing?) then
give us a ping when you think it's ready.
I'll also take any input you have as I'm working on an installer
project, and I do have the SDK.
Thanks

Hi Ari!
You've run into a problem that tripped me up for a while:
REBOL doesn't put its data in the proper places on Windows
2000 and above - in other words, it is not logo-compliant.
REBOL's default install puts its program file and data files
in a directory under Program Files. Since Windows

I'm sorry to have bothered you all with a problem that now
seems not to
exist :-(
eh well, I consider it a problem that if you DO have a home, it *can* changes rebol's
what you are looking for is: REBOL_HOME
I *THINK* Rebol puts more importance to this than system home.
