Re: [Rebol_New] memory manipulation using REBOL?

Thanx Carl !!!
When i first time know about REBOL in feb 2006 , i loved this language very much and i looked to it as a programmer paradise and it will be an end of lots of suffer i face in visual and database programming using C/C++
My main aim in using memory locations is programming communication sessions between computer and external machines or devices linked to computer via serial ports,parallell ports,USB ...etc
also advanced  programmers consider it a flexible feature that THEY CAN ACCESS THE MEMORY LOCATIONS directly

I'm not a C programmer, but as far as I know there's no way to directly access memory locations with REBOL. And going by my vague memories of discussions about the issue in the past it could be very risky due to REBOL being a cross-platform language. Meaning there may be subtle (and not so subtle) differences in how REBOL stores data on the different platforms.

What were you wanting to do? There may be ways to do what you want already built into REBOL.
