[Marking this as OT to de-escalate it on such a busy day.] I just wanted to put a word in for the (far future) separation of JM and Virus interim functionality. The new anti-zip flexibility looks great, but I've read and experienced enough of the continuing adjustment to interim functionality that I really never deploy interims anymore. Like many (most?) users, the huge majority of my Declude maintenance time is on the JM side, and I need that functionality to be as stable as possible. If Declude were to become more modular, with a core DECLUDE.EXE and DECJM.DLL and DECVIRUS.DLL, mightn't it be possible to introduce _some_ cool stuff for one product without any changes to the other? Of course, many changes--logging or any other shared routines--would surely involve changes in the core module and so an overall upgrade could not be completely avoided...but _some_ product enhancements could be slipstreamed in without regression worries in the other product. I can readily imagine that this would create a giant tangle relative to the current development process--I have even worried that my _own_ modular code should be consolidated for performance, especially when I build a process-centric product like Declude and have to accept DLL loading overhead on every execution--but the end result might be a little less apprehension. Just a thought, for the far future, and surely one voiced before. :) --Sandy ------------------------------------ Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ -----------End original message text----------------- --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.Virus mailing list.
