1. PD Interp code changes.

I think that there is going to be a problem with
users coming up with different versions of the interp.
and placing them in the archive. For instance one user
makes changes an places them in the archive and another
user makes changes and places their version in the archive.
Now no one will know if a changes were made on top of b
changes or upon the offical version. The next question
is how will anyone know which files have been altered
and how were they altered from the offical version.
This is going to cause a lot of confusion and more problems
than include/namespace problems. The changes have to be controlled
and documented.

I've tried to be very careful in marking my alterations:

  -- begin mwl

  -- end mwl

Yes, me too. My changes are all marked with -- GTH. This is one
reason, however, why I'm reluctant to release source code. Only having
executables out there means that I'm the only one that has to worry
about my code.

I am planning to hijack this very problem and create a central place
for various mods, hopefully maintaining one main version with the best
bits (though that will be in my opinion, of course).

I created a page (blimey, 3 weeks ago!) which I haven't updated since
and still only contains the original beta, so for now for info only:

http://palacebuilders.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/pdeuex.htm

I hope to add a few things in the next few days, first thing will be
an IL "disassembler" which is nearly ready. I will host or link any
open source version (3 in the pipe) or other useful stuff on request.

Regards,
Pete

All this is very useful! Thanks, Pete!

Excellent!  That's been on my list for a while now, though I have no idea
when I'd be able to get around to it.  (I think you mean alpha, unless Rob
has been secretly sharing with you.)

PS I've squashed lots of bugs, and the preprocessor is looking pretty robust
right now.  I've got a rough ability to trace working.  I'll probably post
an updated source (probably no binaries right now) later today.

I believe that is the error of Rob himself, for not listening to us users.
And for the version problems, one could use a patch generator to check the
differences between two files.
