Anton,

1- Can I create my own custom object?
2- Can I run my legacy application written in C, VC++, VB in the REBOL
shell?

Rebol appears not to use objects on first glance.
And that's a good thing! :)
But there are plenty of objects.
Lots of rebol's settings, functions and default values
are accessible in the 'system object.
Try this in the console:

        help system

It shows you the sub-objects. Now you know enough
to do:

        help system/console

That is a path that access a sub-object of system.
And you can continue this way.
That, I think is the principal feature of OO design.
Information hiding.

It's not really a "trial version".
There is no time limit on the free rebol interpreters,
just in the pay versions you get some extra features.
But that could be just a difference of wording.

Regards,

Anton.
