Lots of good replys. I feel that the reuse is of the source code and not
the object code. Disk is cheap.
We have lots of versions, pbd are not necessiarly static across versions.
I always use the pbds from the build of the application, I never share.
It fits the kiss principal, it always works ( except for the usual bugs )

Good Morning Everyone! Boris and Sharon
I see both points being made and would agree that
simplicity is always better and I have some concerns about
regeneration with shared PBD's. But, my question would be
in the form of distribution. I have several applications
(pb5.04, because I still have some Mac Users)that all have
basic ly the same set of PBD's, but each has there set in
there respective EXE directories. \app1\pf*.pbd's and
\app2\pf*.pbd's and so on. Would you put your applications
PBD's in with the PB Run Time Libraries? This is the only
place I could think of where it would be accessible for all
applications.
What about regeneration? Starting with PB3 regenerating an
application use to be an PB art form! ha ha Only the
masters could perform! I had become very cautious in do
rebuilds (I guess that comes with working with previous
versions of PB - Not on PB7 Yet!) I will back up the pbl's,
Optimize and then Regen using the Object Browser and using
the object Hyarchy starting with Menu's, Obj' and then
Windows. After that I will do a build in the Project
painter. Is this over kill? Am I too pareniod? I remember a
Powersoft class where the teacher said that if things get
too Weird then REGEN.
Last Point is PB7 Unix? Any clue on when?
I do thank you for your imput. I usualy do not write to
this, but always enjoy both of your sites and comments.
