Is it just me or is anyone else confused trying to keep up to speed with the horde of Rebol Products available, announced or in development. To clarify things in my mind this is my understanding of the current situation; REBOL-ANNOUNCED: make object! [ /CORE: "The core messaging language & interpreter, multi-platform availability, built-in internet functionality, powerful dialecting & natural language capabilities." /VIEW: "Graphical Compositing System includes Rebol/Core, for truly cross platform GUI applications & visual interfaces, currently available beta 4.1 for Windows & Linux" /COMMAND: "For platform specific operations including shell applications, database connectivity, application launching, dynamic library loading, encrypt / decryption, currently available in beta ( subject to approval )" /APACHE: "Server module for server-side scripting, cgi, http pre-processing etc, currently available in beta ( subject to approval )" /AUTHOR: "Powerful Development tool for rapid building of Rebol Applications, presumably similar in concept to M$ Visual Studio & is based on /VIEW & /COMMAND" /SERVE: "Rebol Application Server with multi-tasking / multi-threading capabilities to serve Rebol "smart-content" & Rebol enabled e-commerce & internet applications, presumably is based on /COMMAND and is similar in concept to the Python based ZOPE application server ?" /LINK: "Rebol Smart Client - presumably a /VIEW based client application with smart features like automatic upgrading, data synchronization etc which occurs invisibly to the user ?" ] REBOL-UNCERTAINTIES: make object! [ /MEDIA: " For multi-media applications including modules for audio & video, /VIEW may be stage one of this product or maybe /MEDIA has been renamed /VIEW and multimedia may or may not be developed some time in future?" /DRAW: " Mentioned intermittently on Rebol & Ally lists, perhaps confused with /VIEW or perhaps for artwork & graphical applications as /VIEW doesn't appear to have any "canvas" like functionality for drawing or graph-like tasks" ] Anyone care to elaborate further ? thanks, Mark Dickson reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** Veitchi (Scotland) Ltd 31-37 Pitt Street Leith Edinburgh EH6 4BY Direct Tel : (44) 0131 554 7661 Direct Fax: (44) 0131 555 0951 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************************************************** IMPORTANT NOTICE: This email is confidential, may be legally privileged, and is for the intended recipient only.
