Library Stacks PART II

[Kevin]

Let me be a bit more specific.

I have a library lets call it basic.rev it contains the handler below.  This handler "package" resides in basic.rev in RR application directory and is included by other libraries who utilise this handler.  For example "math.rev"  and "graph.rev" wich to utilise "package" must "start using "basic.rev" which will cause a comflict when both libs must be used in the same program/stack.  I am opposed to just willy nilly copying and pasting code it breaks the fundamentals of development.  Should "package" or one of the so called utility handlers change I wish to changed it in the one right place not throughout several programs!

on package thePackage
  
  local myContext, myLine, myDirectory, myShortPackage
  
  put thePackage into myShortPackage 
  
  get matchText( thePackage, ".+/(.*)", myShortPackage)
  
  replace quote with empty in myShortPackage 

  if myShortPackage is among the lines of the stacksInUse then return 
  
  put currentContext() into myContext 
  
  put line -2 of myContext into myContext 
  put item -3 of myContext into myContext
  
  put the last word of myContext into myContext
  
  replace quote with empty in myContext
  
  get matchText( myContext, "(.*\/)", myDirectory )
   
  set the directory to myDirectory 
  
  start using thePackage
  
end package
