Well, that's what on-rev does for web pages, for one thing. And you can do this with cgi scripts for web pages as well. But if you want to *compile* xtalk code, what advantage would you get over building a rev standalone? Yes, you could write an xtalk compiler, but you'd still have to bundle the engine as a library, and that's essentially what the standalone builder does. An interpreter for xtalk code rather than a compiler might be an interesting exercise, but then you'd be recreating the IDE, and in particular the message box. I don't see much point in going down that road either. Having external text files as script sources would be a real advantage in terms of working with version control systems, and I look forward to the day when we get an "import" or "include" command to enable this. -- -Mark Wieder [email protected] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
