I wonder how many megabytes of source code it would take to write 
the same in Java? ;-)
I must say that I had a lot of fun coding that scheme, especially 
learning CUPS and coding some Postscript custom routines.

Hi Doc, it is a great piece of code! Thanks a lot.
in readme file it says:

http://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

but it doesn't work. I think it should be https instead of http, 
then it works:

https://raw.github.com/dockimbel/printer-driver/master/printer-scheme.r

Thanks. James. I hope opening the book can help Carl make the decsion 
to open source R3 .. even though the effort I put in the book is 
not compartable to Carl's effort in R3.

Hi Jerry, maybe a combined edition in Chinese and English would help 
more Chinese rebolers to join in the Rebol community. (Make them 
more comfortable using english.)

Jerry, looks like a smart move. My Chinese is a bit rusty to say 
the least.

I don't know Chinese at all, but can help with final English wording.

Every pages is carefully drawed and layouted. To make the English 
Edition of it, I have to re-layout every page. Since English Sentence 
is shorter than it's Chinese one in most of the cases, I will need 
to re-layout everypage. the aspect should be change from 4:3 to 16:9 
or 16:10. This will take some time for me to prepare.
Carl got my book last Friday, maybe that's why he decided to think 
about the future of REBOL and wrote that blog article. I hope our 
opening the R3 book and trying to gain more new users will make him 
make the second move, opening R3.
Even though I've prepared in my heart for the worst situation.
I am kind of shy and not talkative. But recently I've talked a lot 
here, because I really don't want to see the death of REBOL.

I am not native English speaking but I can help out a little for 
a first rough read-through and correction round.

So how is the rebol source code working for you guys? \

What source code?
NickD

Carl released it last week
a limited version like Python
Maxim

where?
and limited how?
Kaj
28-Aug-2012
[305]
Python is not limited
NickD
28-Aug-2012
[306x2]
I dont know the exact limitations. Just relaying the information 
from the board of directors
Maybe they said some other name of code then. Thought it was Python. 
Is it not on the website anywhere?

All we got, a day ago, is a blog article saying that Carl doesn't 
know what to do, and we should tell him
Maxim

I've looked around again and there doesn't seem to be any sign of 
any new release of any kind from Carl.
Kaj

Nope

Ill ask. The word phython was used, so perhaps there are no restrictions 
then.

Python is a full open source project from the start
In case you haven't found it:

What source code? The compiled version offered is doing rather fine 
:/

Jerry, can you do Kindle or ePub format?  That will make it a lot 
more accessibe to people who read these days
Everyone has a phone with them these days

Jerry, I'm curious to what tools you used to write the book? LaTeX? 
Word? Makedoc?

Henrik, It's PowerPoint. I make a slide with 320 pages. I asked myself 
not to use bullet-point to make it not a traditional slide.
I also ask myself to make it readable slide.
Henrik
