World: r4wp

Thanks

The example for JNI is hello-JNI.*, but you have to compile two parts. 
The Red/System part needs to be compiled like the R3 bridge, as a 
library. The Java part needs to be compiled by Java, similar to Doc's 
instructions for his Java bridge

Kaj, you seem unstoppable!

Kaj, great work on OpenGL!  Question: Am I understanding correctly 
that the OpenGL backends currently available don't use the hardware 
rendering in the GPU?  If this is a correct understanding, do you 
have a roadmap for including hardware rendering capability?  Just 
curious.

Yes, there's some way to go to implement other backends, but I've 
taken up work on that again

@Kaj, so you static binding could be wrttten as a r3 extension as 
well?

GrahamC - interesting question :-)

Yes, you should be able to mix library and executable functionality 
in all sorts of ways now

Not sure if Red can #import libraries from other libraries, but it 
should

Haven't tested that yet, I guess it should work on Unix, not sure 
for Windows.

Kja, nice progress on OpenGL support!

(Sorry for the typo, low caffeine level ;-))

Low sleep level here; home improvement day with Freddy

so, can you make a GUI out of all this?

OS-mesa

You have to build it yourself out of 3D particles such as triangles, 
polygons and textures. Or use an existing one and write an extra 
binding for that

Of course, we already have GTK+

There's also the other way around: most GUI toolkits such as GTK 
have an OpenGL widget, so with my multi-backend design I can make 
OpenGL backends for the widgets of those toolkits. You'd have your 
regular widgets and then the option to use part of the window for 
3D

I'm struggling with a fully built r3gui so I might just wait a bit!

I'm eying some libraries that could be used for medical applications 
:-)

most of the stuff I've needed I've had to build myself :(

In REBOL or in medical?

medical stuff for Rebol

Yeah, not much support there

well, there's a billion$ out there for medical apps

Paying customers?

for myself .. and those who use my app

ooops

someone's email is attached to that link

For eternity, then

just came in my mailing list

Another looping blank page

works for me .. but CMS wants better health models, and they can 
pay :)

Those are US grants, aren't they?

yes

A horrible site that is completely broken without cookies

Can you apply for that?

No .. I haven't thought about it

Actually the answer to the USA's health issues is pretty simple

But the answer is just not palatable to the patients!

Stop eating junk?

The problem with the USA is a western life style.  Take away the 
western life style ... and the western diseases go

Immigrants move to the USA looking for a better life than they had 
. yet typically immigrant children have shorter life spans then their 
migrant parents

Yeah

and you guys in Holland are just as worse off

Not yet, we're always some years behind

Well, it's commonly known here how bad the dutch immigrants here 
have such bad heart disease

All that cheese in their diet I would guess

Interesting. Are those hard statistics? Cheese shouldn't be the problem
