You're entirely correct about this and I agree wholeheartedly,
and here is the big picture:
I currently use the Mix C/Database Toolchest. It is written in
C by Mix Software, and licensed to me as a single user, with source.
I implement it with my own C++ classes in Windows. Use it for
online databases.
I want to use rebol to read, write, and perform simple transactions
on these type of databases.
My first step is to step through the "C" code in the DB Kernel,
"clone" the code and the data structures in rebol. Make it work,
and THEN
optimize with rebol's own features.
The result is (I hope) a rebol "library" that will run this
particular ISAM-style database on any platform that rebol
will run on, and interface with ODBC databases.
And yes (you have it in writing here) a part of the rebol archive,
given that this enterprise is found worthy.
I have noted your insiteful contributions to these lists, (and
your subsequent contribution to my own education in rebol) and
it is my hope that you will follow this thread closely.
regards :) -Tim
