REBOL ML REBOL: Function Dictionary, Sound Support, VID FAQ
Function dictionary
On the 10. May 2001 has REBOL Technologies released an update of the 'Function Dictionary' where the functions of the REBOL system are described. The functions are sorted by categories and alphabetically. The dictionary is available as HTML file (almost 900 KB) and in the REBOL desktop via 'REBOL.com/Ref-Make'. This script loads around 40 KB from the REBOL site and generates the file '/public/www.rebol.com/view/docs/dictionary.html' within the REBOL directory.

Sound support
REBOL/View/Pro supports from the version 1.2 on the output of sound samples. For the loading of samples is a subset of the WAV format (PCM samples with 8 or 16 Bit) supported.

The sound output is possible on the systems AmigaOS (AHI, audio.device), BeOS, Linux/x86 (Open Sound System) and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

Further information can be taken from the REBOL sound documentation.

VID-FAQ
A faq regarding the REBOL GUI dialect 'VID' can be found via the REBOL desktop on http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.r within 'VidWiki'.
