World: r3wp

Cyphre, this looks like a nice acomplishment. Those aren't exactly 
letters from my native language's alphabet, but your console nicely 
prints  

>> print to string! #{e282acc2aec3a4c59fc691cea3ceaecfae}


when startet in a cmd.exe console reusing that as well as opening 
it's own console if double clicked from desktop.

Cyphre, does it allow you to input "special" characters as well?

Yes, seems it does.

And it launches nicely from both a pre-existing console as well as 
from the explorer.

Very nice, Cyphre!

(Ah yes, console not GUI build, so that last part is for free :)

ok, what about having console (not GUI) build of R3, and loading 
View extension? Could it work?

sure, it does work already.

if you remember my console build you downloaded earlier :)

yes ... that is why I am confused, because there was a saying, that 
under Windows, you can't have both worlds - console, and GUI app 
in one, and that e.g. even python uses two separate executables ...

Very good work. I confirm that under Vista (32 bit) it works well 
so far. Both from the icon, and from the cmd console. I don't even 
have to change fonts ...

I'm not sure what chars to expect from the above test string, but 
it doesn't work for me.

That is, I get ?? along with a few other chars that I'm not sure 
are outside the ascii range.

I get "?Ra(with umlaut)s(with hook under it)???"

I get a plain "?(registered trademark)(a with umlaut)s(integral sign)S??"

um... what page do people get with www.rebol.com?

ah, nevermind. seems to be a DNS issue.

so might get overlooked):

we can't comment its reviewed... but I would call it  diff   not 
compare.


since if they are equal it would return none, its a much better word 
than compare.

you can comment, just must be logged in.

Agreed, Maxim.

yeah... just added a simple comment which makes it obvious that diff 
is a better name.

Look at 1718 and 1720 too.

commented 1720

1718 looks good to me.. though the name is hard to map to the effect 
it has... I didn't find a better one.

I think FORFIND was one (worse, and by me) suggestion, when Carl 
brought this up in a blog last year.

I just had a flash!!!

when data value [  do something  ]

Nothing particularly loop-y or sequency about WHEN, not like *ALL.

we already have difference

I have suggest 'diverge?

ed

not difference.... diff.

actually difference could handle series .  right now its not used 
on series... or is it?

It is, and differently.

that's the point .. we already have difference .. so we should choose 
a different word

It treats the series like sets. One of the group with UNIQUE.

and a diff should really show all points of difference

Divergence ?

so using 'diff implies more than one gets

( does 3 more characters add much ? )

It adds the right part of speech. Grammatical correctness.

if not diverge? seriesa seriesb [ print "they're equal mate!" ]

And it is more exactly on topic than difference or diff.

Divergence:  too obscure  a word  time to get the thesaurus... ;-)

shorter words are preferable too ... but who cares

It's an obscure meaning :) Shorter words are preferable as long as 
they mean the same thing.

sounds more like the title of a sci fi novel

But DIVERGE? is a way to add the equivalent meaning, but using REBOL 
naming conventions rather than English.

English doesn't have ? in words :)
