I'll be essaying for the next day and a half or so.

Didn't think it was worth a news post.

Ism got DLL's working in Java. She's now looking in to how resources can be passed via function calls. Shouldn't be hard to get ENIGMA DLL-ized from there.

The problem with DLL-loading functions is that it won't be cross-platform, unless you use WINE.  .so doesn't support loading functions from strings; it's linked on compile time.

He means libraries - not just dll. Actually I haven't even tested DLL yet, I've only tested .so files. At any rate, we'll simply recompile Enigma for windows, linux, mac, and whatever else. As it is now, it's not really cross-platform anyways, the difference between an exe/elf versus a dll/so...

Also, just a reminder we're talking about Enigma *itself* being a dll so that LGM can talk to it, not Enigma's support of user dll's.

Yes, I did mean libraries in general, but I will use DLL because most users can relate to that name better, and I'll probably use EXE because Unix doesn't have an extension and "exe" is short for "executable" anyway.

Heh, it's just where you pretend to know what you're talking about by writing a paper on a topic you may or may not have any interest in.
Anyway, I'm done now, but am currently dealing with other personal issues and should be back to work in a few hours following school today.

Usually, you can assume that anything without an extension is an application, or a text file.

Appending "EXE" makes it assumed as a Windows EXE.
