Greeting to all this evening,

Is there any standard way to determine what packages are currently in use within a unicon program. I can use globalnames(&main) or lang::get_class_for_name("knownclassname") or a combination of both to get the various classes defined and use a variation of Utils::mapPackageInt2Ext() to attempt to find this out, but if there is a relatively standard way to do this, I would prefer to go that way.

In writing the Starship Simulator application, I have found that I can usefully use some of Steve Wampler's and Robert Parlett's class hierarchies to write the code. To that end, I am trying to resolve how to use these class hierarchies and I have come across as situation where it would be useful to know what packages are in use. Each of the class hierarchies have some crossover in functionality and have different ways of doing the same thing which is now also part of the unicon main system - classes, method names and methods, member names.

But in all of this, no easy way to determine what packages are available/in use. Both these gentlemen use packages to build their class hierarchies. Adding to that mix, I have my own set of classes that I have found also duplicates some of their functionality as well as add specific facilities I want.

Any thoughts gentlefolk?

regards

Bruce Rennie
