Hi all,

As an old fogey who still has working code from 1982 (version 2, when
we used VMS and our disk quota was 5 kiloblocks), I much prefer
the .pro/.prx solution. If I have to dig into that old code to change
parentheses to brackets, specify that 16 bit associated variables are
16 bits, remove all VMS-specific keywords, and everything else that is
now obsolete, I'll probably feel compelled to rewrite 28 years worth
of code to make it look and run better, and my productivity will drop
to or below zero... You think I can improve code without breaking it?

Write a V8 complier that will look for the .prx file and, not finding
that, will look for the .pro file. In that way a user can have 2
versions if needed, or a single compatible version.

(I currently use versions 6.2, 6.3, 6.4, and 7 on 4 different
machines. I upgrade only
when machines die or are retired. Often upgrades to a higher version
than I really need/want are dictated by forces beyond my control.)

Cheers,
Fred
