As advertised in the sources; John got this down to 232 bytes of REBOL compressed binary. http://www.rebol.org/view-script.r?script=bf.r Get a copy of REBOL at http://rebol.com, install it (well run it, installation not required)
Our Geomol is one proficient programmer; he wrote this in a couple of hours today. It might have bugs in it. My apologies for not using the proper name in the Subject line of the post, just one of those things for a public forum. Cheers Edit; typo |

Yayy! ![]() The docs I read are a bit out of date, but still good for learning... http://rebol.com/docs.html and I use http://rebol.com/docs/core23/rebolcore.html http://rebol.com/docs/view-guide.html but the main docs page also has a link to the core guide as a PDF And the new REBOL/3 docs are linked from within the alpha binary with >> docs and also at http://www.rebol.com/r3/docs/ http://rebol.org is the library of sample and some production ready scripts and some are documented. I've added a fair boatload of learner docs, all listed at http://www.rebol.org/cpt-recent-docs.r Our wiki site is http://rebol.net/wiki But if you really want "in", I'll get you an account on our by invitation only Altme REBOL world. The software for the Alternate Messaging is at http://altme.com/download.html Cheers, Brian |

Umm, be prepared for "now for something completely different". It can take a while to come to grips with REBOL values and the concept of words just being words until REDUCE is invoked. REBOL truly allows code is data and data is code. That freaks some people out. REBOL, at a glance, seems that it has very little syntax, but their is a plethora of datatype syntaxes and powerful semantics that coincides with those syntaxes. And again, the real help is in a closed, by invite only, very focused Altme world. Just ask. The nature of "by invite only" means that the discussions are usually on topic, and Altme is a great little piece of software. Cheers |
