Most other readers are smart enough to know already, and those who
aren't, explanation won't help.

It is the end user who has to deal with all_of_my_unique_file_names.e
*I* can manage *MY OWN* code perfectly fine.

Respect for whom? Respect for the people who are actually trying to
produce useful things and are trying to make Euphoria better for
everybody? Or do you mean respect for those people who are too ignorant
to accept change for the sake of improvement?
If you want to run legacy code, use a legacy version of the interpreter.
You don't force progress to be hindered because you are too
narrow-sighted to realize that THINGS CHANGE.

I didn't say anything about for you. I would be perfectly happy if
people like you continue worshipping RDS.

You have absolutely nothing to corraborate that accusation.
What I would LIKE to do and what I WILL do are two different things.

I have about 5 contributions left on the archives. I removed all of my
code.
What is left, is 1 hacked utility, an old set of generated libraries, an
old preprocessor designed for eu2.2, DAWG, and a structs library. None
of it has been supported by me in over 2 years.
And as far as I know DAWG and structs are still stable.
Again, your accusation is unfounded.

NO, I don't care to involve you in my project.
I'm glad to see some of the more astute individuals are already
discovering though.

My libs are not the problem, they are an EXAMPLE, just like johnny and
alfred. I have brought up this issue many years ago, and several times.
And RDS's answer has been pretty much the same each time.
