I'm not a me too kind of person but here
goes.
Me Tooooooooo!
I have been working on giving Rebol a
GUI that works in both IE4.x &
Netscape4.X and so far so good, but
it's been a lot of work. Now I'm
working on a plug-in for both
browsers.
I'm not a guru, but i do have the guru gear to do it,
mBED. It
doesn't come
with many docs but the thing is awesome. it can put a
GUI on anything by
using
DHTML, javascript,plug-in, Java classes,or
Active-x control, on any browser.
This is truly a program for writing
once to all kinda apps. mBED has been
beat up a lot in the mm
market so the head guy (from Oracle) is kinda
letting it hang on a
limb.
It was the first and only app that
could do this without having to
program a line of code. You just
point and click, to get what you want, it
all streamed to the
page,
it can handle any scripting language if you know how to do
it. XML too.
But what's really nice, it can do Rebol with
ease.
If I was Rebol I would really talk to mBED,
I know they are ready to
give the runtime and mBED language away as open
source. For Rebol it would
be like having your own Linux.
mBED was a serious threat for a while until
other companies saw the
potential and wrote there own apps, (dreamweaver
for examp.). What
does the mBED language look like. Thought you never
asked.
Just like Rebol.....
see
attach...
This is a file button with a
drop down menue. Do you write this code,
no it does it for
you. and a click of a button, it can be changed into an
applet,
dhtml,activeX, or plugin. No kidding.
I'm
using this with the IE 5 to make stand alone apps. through HTA's
.
So easy it will make you cry. How do you get the rebol to get in
the page?
DHTMLedit.LoadDocument("Rebol\rules.r",
"false") and it does it, or you can
do it from mBED, *Mbedlet
load Rebol\rules.r*, and it does it. The trick I
use is append the result
to a file and load it in the DHTMLedit control or a
sublet in
mBED.
Do I really need Rebol to pull off anything I (I) need, no, but
Rebol is
where mBed was going if those guys could've nail there marketing
plan on the
head and put there hands on more money, life sucks
sometimes.
So if anyone want to do what Rebol
can't do right now, I urge you to
look at mBed.
And when time comes to
use Rebol\core Rebol\view Rebol\Command, use
it.
Sorry for the long letter if it
upsets some, but it very educating.
