Hi Matt

A better question might be, why do we not have an alternative to classlibs?

If I built a classlib with 3 classes, I cannot share just one class with you. I have to send you all three. If the 2 classes you didn't need were based on other classes, you'd end up with a ton of extra stuff.

This is not unlike the SET PROCEDURE to huge.prg. If huge.prg has tons of procedures in it, I can't easily share one of them with you, without cutting and pasting.

We've always had the option of creating individual .prgs with one procedure/function in each vs the lots of procedures/functions per prg. If I create little prgs for each function, I don't have to SET PROCEDURE to use them in an APP or EXE or anytime.
