[ 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. -------------------- Sincerely, Mathew Hounsell Mat.Hounsell at Excite.Com _______________________________________________________ Get your free, private email at http://mail.excite.com/
