Subject: OT: JM/Virus modules
[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. :)
