In article <cPdf4.3607$KP.188008@tw12.nn.bcandid.com>,
: With such a rich macro language it would be `nice' to be able to reuse
: the available memory so that more complex macros could be written and
: used while online without an `exit / reload' being required.
There is and has been for years
define foo echo hello
allocates memory
define foo
undefines the macro and releases the memory. The limitation is that you
can only have so many macros defined at a given time. It is the
responsibility of the script write to undefine those that s/he does not
need.
: While I have your attention: I've been compiling and fiddling with the
: WATTCP package which claims to have a part of it's code inside MSKermit.
WATTCP and Kermit's TCP stack parted company many Moons ago. They
are hardly compatible anymore.
