I think I failed to get #2 accross, which is the main thing: not amount of K or if it's attachemnt or wiki. There is no need to modify an existing (system) file. Instead, all the changed definitions are collected in a small separate file, which is loaded at startup.
The advantages: it's small, it's visible what's changed, it's manageable. Suppose, another user made a different set of enhancements to the jijs.ijs file: in your scenario we would have two different changed files. How would we go about that? BTW, the enhancement to enable labs of PocketPC is a great idea. Running labs in that environment is a convenient and useful thing. --- Jose Mario Quintana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Behalf Of Oleg Kobchenko > > > > --- Jose Mario Quintana <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Oh well, the file appeared properly attached in my Outlook 'Sent Items' > > but not so in the > > > forum's version (any advise would be welcome). > > ...
