Steve, I have an idea I'd like to discuss. It's to do with creating
scripts, any scripts, that are in effect of two parts. The normal part,
which is viewed normaly with any text editor, may contain any amount of
comments, tabs, spaces etc. The second part of the file contains the actual
working script which is stripped of all comments, unnescessary formatting
etc. This can be done in what is an already existing feature, though
largely unknown, of the NTFS file system, and should also work on Mac OS.
Not sure about Nix etc at this point. If the file is opened on a file system
that doesn't support it, the commented/formatted part would still open and
work as normal.
If you are interested you can contact me by removing the MAPS part.
Regards,
Vince
