I know that dynamic includes are my hack, and I don't complain about that, other than to mention that I can't do it anymore. I would prefer if there were a real method of dynamic includes, but there isn't, despite I dunno how many requests. I consider the main trait of an intepreter to be the fact that it interprets my code. Why is it called an interpreter if it has to be compiled? It's not even JIT, it's compile, then execute. Why is it necessary for me to give my clients an executable? The interpreted code runs just fine, and it's alot less headaches for me. Not to mention that I can actually take advantage of the fact that I'm using an interpreter, rather than just some slow language with a nifty syntax. If I have to bind my programs, then that is an extra step I have to do. I don't want to, I like using an interpeter for that reason, so I don't have to. How do you suggest I bind my linux CGI apps on my windows machine? I should use SSH? I could also make a batch script to do it through the webbrowser... I still don't think that is a very reasonable solution. What about automatically generated source code? How should I bind that? I could just give my clients the binder with the cgi app I suppose, doesn't matter much to me. Chris Bensler Code is Alchemy
