Hi chris  I'm joining the conversation ;)

Hi shadwolf!

Ammon - if we are talking about Rebol and multitasking, I think Rebol 
is really weak here.. I know some ppl will not agree with me, but 
something is weird. Go to desktop and run separately Bubbles and 
then Particles demos. Then run them both at once. Even if they try 
to use high refresh ratio, imo it should not slow that much. And 
both demos do use separate rebol processess, imo something is wrong. 
I can run 5x video, mp3s and no apps slows down so significantly 
...

have = half

maybe we should move from ann-reply?

well indeed what I think is that you menu posibilities are great 
but this kind of freaky thing must be part of a more complete solution 
(more thinked and more optimized !!))

Yeah, to View?

but fortunatly you are not alone ;)

Christian - I like menus with small arrows the most :-) It looks 
really system friendly and if you reach screen size limit on Y axis, 
you correctly disply arrows - very nice. I am full for automaticion. 
That is why I alway wanted area to have automatic scrolling!

I by myself about 3 month later make a port of the cyphre menu for 
rebgui so we can now that AGG is officially involve Cyphre into an 
optimization process to achive in short code a as flexible and advanced 
menu in term of design ;)

Let's move to VIEW group.

Pekr yes auto matic scrlling is one of the capabilities ;)

Pekr: Area with automatic scrolling. What do you mean ?  While selecting 
text by mouse ?

I yes, there is area-scroll-style demo in the library http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/view-script.r?script=area-scroll-style.r

It's fairly a demo because it works on most version. But it would 
be smaller for 1.3 (as there is patch in it for old versions).

DideC: look at Cyphre's styles. Simply put - are without scrollers 
does NOT make any sense from functionality pov. And why should programmer 
care about providing scrollers and doing recalculations?

The thing is - even Carl admited, it is usefull, but because of compatibility 
to old scripts, we can't have a change, becaue you would get scrollers 
two times ...

Witch script (there is a lot) ?

In my area, you have to write:
layout [area-scroll hscroll vscroll]

to have both scrollers. Without 'hscroll 'vscroll, it's an area, 
so compatible.

You can try directly mine by:

do http://www.rebol.org/cgi-bin/cgiwrap/rebol/download-a-script.r?script-name=area-scroll-style.r

Use the button to compute the facets you want, then "Show the Result" 
button to see what it give.

Just wanted to say thanks to Carl and the rest of the REBOLers that 
helped with 1.3 and the community for there feedback and support. 
 Good Job!

Carl, just a thought (and see what others think) -- it's a little 
odd looking at the messages with newest on top.  Another suggestion 
would be to do newest at bottom and put an anchor at the end so that 
incoming links start reading the page at the bottom to mirror the 
AltME view...

REBOL/View 1.3 for OS X! This is a big day!!! :-) Even if it's an 
alpha. Now I only miss one thing, before I can move my development 
entirely away from Windows, and that is AltME. :-)

1.3 linux? what? running..

:-) I also hope we get answer to font situation rather quickly ... 
hopefully, as Jaime mentioned, it will be FreeType ....

works here! at least i can use forall again! :)

is it more complete than OSX? So timers, etc. work? Can you run desktop 
demos?

yes. but they had that all the time. timers are related to gui, and 
that is different on OS/X.

this would be the right place to congratulate Robert :-)

Thanks a lot.

9 month time to invent some toys with embedded rebol? networked teddybears 
etc?

I still need to get used to the fact... it's all a bit abstract at 
the moment. But I'm sure this will change :-))

After baby is there, there is no time for inventing for some time 
:)

There's not much time for sleeping either!

Thats the time usually used for inventing ;)

He, he... I'm already sleeping way to less but who cares?

Now there will be someone. Wait a year, baby will know pretty well 
if you really pay attention while playing ;)

Congrats, Robert.

Robert - twins? :-)

No, that's for sure. A friend of mine got twins... hard job.

Congratulations, Robert!

Thanks to all of you...

Congratulations!

Hi Robert, cangratulations. I like babies. Especially if I'm able 
to say: "Hey, _your_ baby smells ! ..." ;-)

Big congratulations to Robert!

:-) Ingo, I will see... aehm... smell.

Congratulations to both of you Robert!

Don't forget this group, when replying to Announces!

Robert, congrats!!!   Doing your part to bring up that 1.3 birthrate. 
 If Germans don't do something soon, I suspect the landscape of the 
future will be a bunch of German's tended to by a lot of well trained 
and well paid Malaysians.  Not that this is a bad thing, just simply 
not a very different future than everyone expected.
