I don't really find any problem with that, as I feel REBOL's so far abstracted away from the hardware for it not to matter. If the code we were writing was to be compiled it might make a difference, but it's not, it's interpreted, and all I ask is that it's interpreted the same way on whatever OS or machine it's on. We do need to know everything about how our code will be interpreted though. -- Carl Read. -- To unsubscribe from the list, just send an email to lists at rebol.com with unsubscribe as the subject.
