Thanks, Monte. With your explanation that does make sense.
I have plenty of options for doing what I need to do, so no worries on
this, but it does leave me with one question:
Can the merge function be extended to support scripts interleaved
between blocks of non-code?
e.g. this works in Server, and not in Merge:
<?lc if there is a file "something" then ?>
This is some non-code
<?lc else ?>
Some other non-code
<?lc end if ?>

Hey guys!
This is one of my early community contributions. The server has an in tag mode
and a not in tag mode. The shebang both tells the OS where to find the
executable to run the script and sets enters tag mode. So:
#! /some/path
put the long date && the long time
?>FooBar
Should generate the same output as:
<?lc
put the long date && the long time
?>FooBar
You can see why this is necessary if you consider that you don’t want the
engine to output the shebang line.
Cheers
