Hello ,
as a beginner in learning REBOL i had the first aim to complete run and compile the program e-mail client from section
4 - Several Basic Examples
REBOL Programming For The Absolute Beginner By: Nick Antonaccio !
Only this app , but complete until redy to deploy .exe.
For this aim i got good help and want to thank JOHN in this forum who helped to run the NSIS script.
Also a programming friend i , who send me a private message.
The result of testing the code was that the line :
is not running.
I couldn't fix the program so i decided to replace the code with a Mailbox code from
olivier auverlot Rebol Manual that works as a single script.
The Result is this working code :
_____________________________________________________________________________________
REBOL [title: "email-client"]
view layout[
h1 "Send:"
btn "Server settings" [
system/schemes/default/host: request-text/title "SMTP Server:"
system/schemes/pop/host: request-text/title "POP Server:"
system/schemes/default/user: request-text/title "SMTP User Name:"
system/schemes/default/pass: request-text/title "SMTP Password:"
system/user/email: to-email request-text/title "Your Email Addr:"
]
a: field "us...@website.com"
s: field "Subject"
b: area
btn "Send"[
send/subject to-email a/text b/text s/text
alert "Sent"
]
h1 "Read:"
btn "Read" [
mailbox:
[
scheme: 'pop
system/schemes/pop/host
system/schemes/default/user
system/schemes/default/pass
]
editor read to-url: mailbox
]]

It is definetly running.
Write emails in textmode and receive emails in textmode.
Its the principle. It is running. No matter if the received data is html format etc. Theese are additional programming steps.
I just want to have fast results and fun.
Now comes the compilation to .exe.
For this step i had two tools in valuation. XPackerX and NSIS 3.0
I checked XpackerX and the result was a .exe without ICON change and
the script offers no Version Ressource code.
I couldn't find any in internet for this tool.
Therefore i make an eye on NSIS 3.0 and found a script.
After a lot of attempts and with the help of John this script is running.
It makes a good.exe with ICON change.
Many search leeds me to a nsis scipt that had a Version Ressource option in it.
I pasted the code into the NSIS Script and made attempts.
It is perfectly running and make a very good .exe with all (author-rights etc)
Here is my complete script that definetly works.
a .nsi file script
I have personal tested the e-mail exe for sending and receiving.

If you don't believe it , here is the NSIS REPORT too.
I have the scriptfile of REBOL and NSIS in the REBOL folder together with the REBOLVIEW.exe and the application script .r basta

So this is full success in detail.
Everyone who is interested in this script has advantages now.
