Does Universe or Unidata have a way to link custom functions into the monitor? This would facilitate in-process execution of code directly from BASIC. For example in D3 we can link in MD5 encryption from an external C library and then run it using: success=%md5(valuein,valueout,options) or use common libraries like this: result=%curl(url,page,options) etc... Not many people use this functionality but the benefit is that a new process doesn't need to be created and destroyed on every execution, as is the case with something like this: EXECUTE "SH -C gpg ":PARAMS:" CAPTURING OUT This functionality opens the door to all sorts of possibilities - allowing us to make use to a world full of function libraries when people here are always trying to reinvent the wheel with BASIC. Unfortunately because of geeky words like "C", "link", and "monitor", this topic is hardly ever discussed.
