@Rebolek - thanks!

Maarten
I am in need of some docs for R3 - how dows the module system work, mostly... I need exhustive documentation in terms of options, i.e. can I upgrade modules, sign them, etc.? What's possible?

Module system was imo never properly finished and/or documented. Dunno if first implementation was done by Carl or BrianH, but Carl asked BrianH to rewrite it. He did so. But I also remember, that he still wanted some PROTECT function changes, etc., which were imo not done. IIRC, Rebolek tried to use the module system, not sure about his experience, but some ppl found the module system quite complicated ....

Atronix used R3/View to create this really cool looking UI for their product. Does not use R3/GUI, but is built upon the gobs -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xj1CEU2RlBg&feature=youtu.be

David den Haring said that they are integrating OpenGL into Rebol3 natively. That sounds exciting!
I can imagine an amazing OpenGL dialect.

Quick question: what are the possblie actor types for a networking scheme? Can you define an actor subtype yourself. As an example, we seem to have lost the list function on network ports.

Maarten, here are my notes regarding port/scheme actors:
(Warning, slightly long.)
"Port actions":
    create [port]
    delete [port]
    open [port /new /read /write /seek /allow]
    close [port]
    read [port /part length /seek index /string /lines]
    write [port data /part length /seek index /append /allow access /lines]
    open? [port]
    query [port /mode field]
    modify [target field value]
    update [port]
    rename [port to]
Port actions can be used not only with port!s, but also with port
specs (everything make port! accepts: url! block! object! word!) In
this case, `make port!` will be called with the spec first, and then
the corresponding actor is called with the freshly created port!.
"Series actions":
    append
    at
    back
    change
    clear
    copy
    find
    empty?
    head
    head?
    index?
    insert
    length?
    next
    past?
    pick
    poke
    remove
    select
    skip
    tail
    tail?
    take
I think I also put that, or a slight variation of it, on the rebol.net Wiki once. Unfortunately that's still offline.

Does this help?

I'm looking forward to playing with OpenGL in R3 from Atronix. Will it be available soon? Will there be some rudimentary documentation?

Maarten
Andreas, thanks. That does help

Maarten
Anyone know how to use UDP on Rebol 3 (atronix version)?
Maarten
Or if it exists at all?
Pekr
I think it is non existent, but I could be wrong ....

Maarten
Does anyone have a working R3 RSA example? Between 'rsa and rsa-generate-key I seem to miss the functions that create the public/priv keys....
