Because backwards compatability is a detriment to the optimal progress. Because the names are _meaningful_ . Because I CHOOSE to. Because I'm not going to use obscure names, just because you are too blind/stubborn to accept the fact that it's perfectly logical to have 2 files with the same name and different content and/or intent. > > I resent the opinion that I should have to rename all of my > > meaningfully named files, just to accomodate your ignorance of the > > problem. > > Chris, you have to *name* yours libs *properly* and then > you'll have no problem. I DID name my files properly.. I use include statements such as std/util/file.e and rds/file.e The fact that RDS is too stupid to realize that it is a very useful functionality, will be YOUR problem when Euphoria is fumbling with hack solutions, and you have no choice but to live with it or pick up a new language. You can rename all your files, I won't. That is perposterous. Chris Bensler Code is Alchemy
