Morning all, and a totally crappy morning it is as well ! Cold, miserable, foggy, traffic at a standstill due to some forward thinking private contractor to the local council (whatever they are called this week) starting work digging up the busiest set of junctions in the city - just in time for the morning 'rush'. 4 mile tailbacks - and I was in it !!!!
Back on topic and off rant ! All this talk of having some way to rename extensions puzzles me, but perhaps I'm missing the point. Lets say I have a commercial compiled program which accesses an extension, say DJ_FILE_OPEN for example. If I use some utility to rename the extension, then my compiled program is going to barf - isn't it ? I like Dave's ides to use something like 'PREFER' in a manner similar to FLP_USE or RAM_USE etc, but I'm at a total loss as to how it could be made to work. When an extension with the same name as an existing one is loaded, what actually happens in QDOSMSQ ? Does the new one overwrite the old one or does it get pre-pended to the name list so that it is found first when searching for the name ? I suspect the latter myself, but I've never looked into it.
