Hello Gabriele,
Thanks for the reply, I was only guessing and hoped someone
could tell me differently..
I must say im realy impressed about the size..
Also! Im wondering how RebolTeam does the compilation?
Do they have different programmers maintaining different
OS versions or are there group maintaining different OS's
or Is there ONE compile for all OS's? Im currious..
(R)egards,
Norman.
