  • Question about programming style

    From digimaus@618:618/1 to All on Fri Jan 27 16:24:14 2023
    Hi everyone,

    As many of you know, I am working on using Manndoor to allow my doors to
    work natively on DOS, OS/2, Win32/64, Linux64, and FreeBSD64.

    I have all of my Cheepware code in a single Pascal unit.

    My question is this: should I integrate my code into Manndoor itself (I'll
    be maintaining it) or just modify my unit to work with Manndoor?
    Admittedly, just converting the unit is easier though not quite as clean as putting the code directly in...which would add what I feel are missing features to
    Manndoor.

    Rick Parrish has given me written permission to work on Manndoor and I'll be releasing my work using the BSD 4-clause license (not a fan of the GPL).

    I figured since there's several developers in here I could get a much more honest opinion in here than asking in Fidonet which is full of wannabes.

    Thanks,
    Sean

    The latter... I find its easier to work with.

    I still haven't found any takers for my paid-offer to port B-Tree Isam.
