[ Naming Conventions ]
Euphoria is spreading it's platform base and I propose a small change to the
file naming convention.
E & EX <- Platform independant euphoria
ED & EXD <- MS-DOS
EW & EWD <- Ms Windows
EL & EXL <- Linux
EU & EXU <- Unix
EM & EXM <- Macintosh
EB & EXB <- Be Os
There is one question what to name X-Windows files? EX is in use. So then do
we change the naming convention to
E_ & EX_ <- Platform independant
or
E & E_X <- Platfom Indepedant
ED & EDX, EW & EWX, EL & ELX etc...
EX & EXX <- X windows
In Summary shall we change the naming convention to
E? & EX? with no X specific files
E? & EX? with _ being platform independant
E? & E?X with _ being platform independant
Or do we let a confusing restricted style survive for the sake of irrelevant
backward style compatibility.
Remember the interpreter will try to run any file with any extension. I run
.E files to test them. And have used .pic, .dlg and .prt files. *.prt being
a part of a program not a general library.
