[BLACKBOX] Grouped or separate CPC modules?

----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-27170074_-_- Content-type: text/plain Folks, Helmut and I are having a discussion about the best way to distribute software on CPC. Specifically about the 'My' subsystem. Helmut wants to put all modules belonging to 'My' into a single Quick-Start file but I feel that is not quite right since there will be many modules within 'My' but a user may not want all of those modules at any one time. For example, MyFiles and MyObjects are unrelated so that including both in a distribution for someone who only wants one of them put unnecessary software on the their machine. However, having a single encoded file containing all 'My' modules is convenient and easy to install whereas having many separate installations may make it more difficult to keep software in synch when there are modifications. So we throw out the question to the community and ask: "What is your preference? Grouped or separate?" -Doug Danforth ---- To unsubscribe, send a message with body "SIGNOFF BLACKBOX" to LISTSERV{([at]})nowhere.xy ----boundary-LibPST-iamunique-27170074_-_- Content-type:
