Hi Elan:
I wanted a quick and dirty way to bypass
the security check for testing purposes. I had
thought of the Windooz shortcut and will use it,
probably with a extension like .rsecure, .rs or
whatever (suggested by other list members).
I currently work in Windooz, but am migrating
to Linux. You serendipitously brought up something
else:
I recently downloaded CygWin (Gnu C/C++ Windooz port).
It comes with a bash shell adapted to microsoft. I think
I will try running rebol from it. I'll let you know what
happens.
Regards
Tim
