hi all, just wanted to but in and say that I will be releasing v0.9.4 of slim later this evenigng.
it fixes a few bugs and internal I/O should now properly propagate errors back to main code, instead of failing inside encompased function... this lets you use error? try [read %file] on reads as usual and react if there where errors. It will be on rebol.org and will be distributed under lgpl "with no strings attached".
