My database NicomDB, created with my friend Martin Nyberg, is going 
open source under GPL license. The plan is to release the source 
a little at a time, so we can make sure, everything is working with 
as many versions of REBOL as possible incl. the coming R3. For now, 
my original thesis for an education, I ended some years ago, is available 
at:

http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/nicomdb/thesis.pdf


It describes much of the unique concepts of this relational database.

geomol,

interesting concept. It will also be interesting to see the performance 
and behavior with
different filesystems like: ZFS,REISER, NFS XFS, CFS, GFS etc.

in mysql you can choose the database engine, with nicomDB you choose 
the filesystem 

for different features. (e.g. REISER for speed, NFS for distributed 
networking, CFS/EncFS 
for crypto, GFS for cluster etc. :-) 
any aprox. date when it will be available?

Geomol, so why GPL instead of BSD?

I'm confident, we talk weeks, not months. The first part of the code 
probably in days. From experience, I know, time estimates on software 
projects are very hard to do, but in this case, all the old code 
is there, I would just like to review it, test and optimize a little 
before release.

Henrik, as I understand those licenses, with GPL, you can only use 
the code for free in GPL projects. With BSD, you can use the code 
for free in not-open-source projects too. This way we hope ot finance 
further development by close-source licenses.
yes, sorry

Geomol,

Just read your NicomDB thesis and thought it was well done.  Just 
a quick note about a mis-spelling on page 36 toward the bottom.

If we think back to the four basic operations on a data record, they 
are Read, White, Rewrite and Delete.
I think you mean "Write" instead of "White".

Documentation here: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html
Added PageSize with support for A4, A5 and US Letter for now.
Added images. Example of use:

write %palms.ps postscript [DeviceRGB page [translate 100x400 scale 
72x72 image http://www.rebol.com/view/palms.jpg]]


The file palms.ps is now a PostScript file describing a page with 
an image on. Try view or print it.

Doc: http://home.tiscali.dk/john.niclasen/postscript/postscript.html

Added decimal! option for size in TEXT alignment. Moved TRANSFORM 
up front in PAGE, so it's possible to let a transform work on a whole 
page instead of just a PATH. Added description of COMMENT to doc.

In March 2007, Olivier Auverlot published his second major book on 
ÒREBOL Ð Guide du programmeurÓ.  Written in his native French the 
book has been well received, not least by Carl Sassenrath:  ÒYes, 
Olivier has done it again with another good book on REBOL.Ó



Olivier and I have been working on an English translation, "REBOL 
- a programmer's guide" for a little while now. The book will eventually 
be published in both printed and electronic form on lulu.com. The 
prices are likely to be Euro 25.00 for the printed edition and Euro 
16.99 for the portable document format version (pdf) version. (For 
those of you outside the Euro zone, Lulu also provides prices in 
Pounds Sterling and US Dollars.)


  As the translation is likely to take some time to complete, we are 
  providing exclusive previews of each chapter for those who don't 
  want to wait until the whole book has been translated. The previews 
  will only be available until the complete book is ready. Each chapter 
  will be published as a pdf once it is available and will cost Euro 
  2.99.


  The first chapter "Discover Rebol in an hour" is a hands-on introduction 
  to Rebol for programmers following the development of an automated 
  File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client. It covers many facets of this 
  highly productive language. It is available today at http://www.lulu.com/content/2092020



The next three chapters, "The Rebol Language", "GUI, graphics and 
sound" and "Networking and the Internet" will be available within 
the next few days.


  Olivier is the author of the book; I am the author of any mistakes 
  that have crept in during the translation.

Chapter 2 of  "Rebol - a programmer's guide" is a thorough grounding 
in the basics of the language covering variables, datatypes, lists, 
control structures, functions, objects, parsing and dialects.

Chapter 4 of  "Rebol - a programmer's guide" describes Rebol's advanced 
network programming features. Using TCP/IP protocols (including client/server 
programming), creating network protocols, CGI scripts, producing 
dynamic web documents, handling XML documents, using Web Services 
and the Rebol//View browser plug-in are all explained.

Oldes, what about uploading your colorizer to rebol.org ? If you 
don't have the time I could do this for you this round.

Electronic Arts IFF ILBM loader:
http://www.fys.ku.dk/~niclasen/rebol/libs/gfx/iff.r

Can handle 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 color images, HAM6 images (4096 colors) 
and HALFBRITE (64 colors). HALFBRITE hasn't been tested yet, as I 
couldn't find such an image easily. Handle both compressed and non-compressed 
images. This is an example, where rebcode would help a lot, as a 
320x200 image can take several seconds to uncompress.
Usage:

iff-image: load-iff %some_picture.iff
img: iff-image/as-image

img now is a REBOL image!, than can be viewed like:
view layout [image img]

Curl NITRO is now beta at http://www.curl.comwill be welcoming languages 
other than just Curl.  Expect a relaxed RTE license soon. Like Rebol3, 
Curl is now on  track to only have the core remain proprietary.  
Pekr:  think Rebol on the Surge RTE  AKA Nitro !
