Alright then. > It is one of the flaws of ExtPascal's implementation: everything is tied > together, using fixed formats for config files. Whether it's a flaw or not, it just a matter of POV. Wanderlan seems to be a KISS concept lover. When a simpler way could get the job done, then be it. If then something more complex is needed, then improve it when the need is here.

ExtPascal's code, despite the flaws as you said, is very easy to be understood because of its simplicity. Somehow I think it's good to attract new contributors because s/he doesn't need too learn a huge beast OO framework beneath it. I only needed a mere couple of hours to get a good grasp of it. If the code become more complex, a refactoring effort can be done easily. Besides, it's (always) a work in progress. I believe it'll evolve, just like the other open source projects. ;) -Bee- _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
