1) I discovered it first, so it is my fix.

But you did not tell me of this, until this Euphorum thread. You didn't tell me on irc. If you had the fix, what did you gain by not telling me?

I did state this in IRC, which you actually quoted. I'll quote it again:

i discovered the missing "%" symbol and got the DLL made

You mean I discovered it and told you about it over the IRC channel, right?


No, i do not mean that. Previous to me saying it, you had said the following when i was not in channel (i was in bed asleep):

.. 5 am Thursday 9/27/2012 .. 
[05:28] <iamlost> mattlewis: do we have a bug in the branches? 
[05:29] <iamlost> mattlewis: i looked at euphoria-ow.iss and i see it writes out %WATCOM\binw to setenv-ow.bat when setting the PATH 
I then woke up and came into channel ~3.5 hours later, i didn't see what you said previously.

You missed what I said and rediscovered it for yourself. Fair enough.

I had nothing to gain from hiding this from you and did not deliberately do so. I simply said it and you missed it. It happens.

That's my point: no one else should jump in.

True. I agree.

Glad we can agree on something.

I asked for a feature,

But why would you do this if you believed you'd be personally attacked as a consequence?

eukat said...

Matt said i should use DLLs, i said it didn't work as shipped, i pointed out a bug, then we all got really ugly about the bugs and problems and stuff, which you keep dragging on here.

I'd say things started getting really ugly here with your post - after you had the bug fixed and the DLL built: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/119114.wc

Otherwise, this is a perfectly accurate summary of the events that occurred.

Matt, i ask permission to stop paying attention to Jim on this thread. This is really a counterproductive protocol of interaction.

I'll give my permission in lieu of Matt's for this. Not sure why you need it, but if you want it then we are all willing to oblige.

As for counterproductive? Maybe, but then again I rarely consider fact-finding or fact-checking to be counterproductive.
