That's a personal opinion, there should also be an export option to export a text .mak file, which 6.0 can import.
" Just my thoughts on the idea. Plus of course, there is that fact that the SDK is well tested on 6.0. If you use .NET, you may be introducing bugs that could have been prevented." Just the opposite actually. With un-service packed 6.0 some severe floating point errors can crop up because of faulty compiler optimization. 6.0 was released years before the C++ standard was even finalized. I'm very much looking forward to 7.0 providing a much more solid C++ base. david -----Original Message----- From: Commando [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2002 2:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [hlcoders] Argh!

This shouldn't be too annoying - I've probably added >4 new source files to FLF in the last 9 months. Most of us make more major modifications to the SDK for our mods. In the mod I am working for, we have added dozens of new files to each of the projects, changed defines, and removed just as many of the original files. It is unfair to ask other developers to spend time creating new project files when you share work, and when you send code to people not on your team when asking them for help, it is just impolite to make them do this. Just my thoughts on the idea. Plus of course, there is that fact that the SDK is well tested on 6.0. If you use .NET, you may be introducing bugs that could have been prevented.
