If there's not at least a reference copy of the binaries then in a few years time, when the external tools change, it might impossible for other people to repeat the current process. If on the other hand the current binaries are also stored, they should be runnable in future if necessary (even if that has to be done in a virtual machine running some ancient OS like Windows 10). -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. _______________________________________________ Oorexx-devel mailing list Oorexx-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/oorexx-devel
