1. Modules
I was wondering whether it is possible to select at execution which files to
included. What I try to do is to include just after execution the files I
want to include. Thus when I write for example SPSS (a statisticle package)
I want to select at start-up the modules (math, geographical, diagrams) I
want to include only include the files selected. This will give you the
possibility to extend the functionallity of the program by just adding a
module in stead of (re)compiling the whole package.
The problem here is that the include-statement doesn't accept sequences. So
what I want to do is something like this:
sequence module
module = "diagrams.mod"
include module
I hope this make sense.

Martin,
You might want to look in the archives on the Euphoria web site for a =
package called Dynaminc. By including a temporary file which is actually =
created during execution, it offers a workaround for the situation. I've =
looked at it before, and from what I remember it seemed well documented; =
it shouldn't be difficult to use at all.
Hope this helps,
Rod Jackson

I'm hoping, in the next major release, to make improvements
in the general area of "namespaces", includes, binding etc.
Meanwhile, you can do something like:
module = "diagrams.mod" -- or whatever you like
system("copy " & module & " temp.e", 2)
include temp.e
It's not as elegant as you'd like, but it will work,
provided you don't bind your program into a .exe.
At bind-time, the binder will replace "include temp.e"
with the current temp.e file, so overwriting temp.e
at run-time will have no effect.
