Mark I suspect that writing a dynamic link library for use with Rebol is likely to be easier than writing an external for Revolution. The Rebol language is evaluated not compiled. I found writing a dynamic link library with FPC quite straightforward though I encountered two problems which I

Phil I've been using a fairly complex system of stacks for years now in RunRev and never heard of or felt a need for freeing up memory. It seems to me it allocates a certain amount on start-up and stays that way through out. Of course all my data is stored separately in an external database
