Rebols,

It *can* be done, and easily as well. It's just like Ralph (I believe) said.
I have Rebol CGI scripts running on the server of a free webspace provider
with CGI support and all I had to do was:

1. check the operating system with a script like Perldiver (to show the
environment variables);
2. copy the appropriate Rebol executable to the cgi-bin directory and chgmod
it to 755, and;
3. have the scripts refer to Rebol in the first line with: #! rebol -cs.

That was it! Only one tiny problem. How much overhead is Rebol going to
take? Of course it depends on the script, but let's say I have a small
script to handle a form and display a 'succeeded' page, would it pose a big
problem if ten people at the same time executed it?

It was really cool to see Rebol output on the web. Check it out for yourself
at one of the many free webspace providers.

Regards,
Rachid
