[REBOL] Re: Rebol and BeOS

Just a quick note on BeOS.
The single biggest problem we have with better support for BeOS is its
network API.
The Be team did great things with multimedia, but they punted on a few areas of
TCP/IP. We'd like to encourage the new BeOS systems team to consider improving
in this area. If you need a detailed list, perhaps Holger could give you
some input.
Our best wishes to you on BeOS...
