John -
I'm hoping to avoid DLL's as much as possible for just that reason. The UI is going to vary quite wildly from module to module, without a doubt. And to integrate all UIs, which I don't even know what they will all look like, into the core interpretation database, would be instant bloat the likes of which none of us have ever seen before. (You thought 250M for one app, sans docs, was bloat? Wait'll you see THAT mess.;)
What I'm hoping to do is something similar to perl, or sort of, for lack of a better example. Basically, the modules are standard VisFoxPro forms, with non-standard programs that are interpreted by the moduleInterpreter code.
Prepare for bloat, or start hacking now? ;) Thanks! :)
