It seems I either can't use associative arrays with globals or I must

Hi all,
New release of my Script editor 1.1.3 is released.
You may want to add mc version checking to your installer. I just
tried to install in mc 2.4.1 and it happily started doing so only to
report some errors from uninstaller. I gather it works only with
2.4.3.
Robert
I meant that your installer should check whether the expected
(supported) version of MC is used and simply refuse to install if
wrong version. Otherwise, incidental damage is possible.
Robert
You just can't stop progress can't you! ;))
Sorry but backward compatibility is not a feature I fix
