Re compatibility,
If along with your "cb_stdlib.e" you release ~10 (19-byte) files , eg
dll.e:

include cb_stdlib.e

I think that might help somewhat.
Don't kick me if it's a duff idea, though.

With regards to include file handling, under 2.4 you could code eg:

include some\path\or\other\xxx.e
include xxx.e

and it would effectively ignore the "include xxx.e". Under 3.0.0 and
later it has another "look see" for xxx.e, which is fine, BUT if it
cannot (now) find, it CRASHES! I firmly believe it should check the
previous includes and if an "xxx.e" was included OK elsewhere, accept
that it /has/ already been included and move on...

Or am I really the lone voice of this unacceptable incompatibility?
(this is, again, really all about not modifying 3rd party sources)

Regards,
Pete
