This clever kat simply keeps the "official" include dir with it's "official"
files,
then builds a new one with any altered files. Since each task tends to need
tweaked files if it's different enough, i start a new directory and drag the
*altered* include files there into it, and i don't keep an EUINC or PATH to the
"official" stuff. (The official sleep() doesn't support sleep(0), but mine does,
and i use mine.) This works every time, and i can alter and replace a file
when i find an app that breaks something in an include, without worrying an
app starting up and including an altered file might also break in that
application. I know exactly which files are being included. And if i submit
anything to anyone, i zip the dir and !presto! all the required files are there.
Yes, even including exw40.exe.
And yes, i know that's not "elegant" or "modern" or "proper" or "clean" or
keeping with "pestering RDS to change things", but lets not forget where
asking for
1) goto
2) case
3) string execution
4) access to the variable list
5) accessing seq[index] during debug
6) a win32 debugger
7) win32 time profiling
8) anything from 90's pascal, basic or newer mirc or lua or rebol
got us:
1) nowhere.

It's a shame Eu cannot grow into a place among the respected ai languages
like lisp, scheme, or <gag> python and perl. Consider that even php, made
for the masses, has case-insensitive switches on it's functions, but all the
EU users haveto code that themselves! In my opinion, Eu could beat them
all, if only RDS would pursue that. But lagging behind even the newer
Basics?!, tsk tsk at RobC. Karl showed how possible and how fast Eu could
be brought up to speed when he did Bach. After that demo, i don't need to
know any C to understand how deeply RDS has it's feet buried in concrete,
watching the glaciers speed by!
