Programs are not "established"; they are "compiled (and linked)" or "built". The term "a (.exe) program link" should just be "an executable program". The term "immediate calling" has no meaning, but I guess you intend to say "running". Programs are "run" or "executed", not "called". The relevance of the desktop is unclear. --- You also ask things that are contrary to your actions or contradictory: On Friday, 6 March 2015 09:05:02 UTC, Austin Obyrne wrote: > My interest alone is in the core cipher programs that I write and store > away in folders in my computer and I would like to make these programs > more portable locally here at home. This is a contradiction; either "portable" or "locally here at home", pick one. Portability implies another place which you do not make known. It could be customers or co-workers for example. (I suspect you mean the folks who download your stuff; if so, best make that explicit). > Apart from being a very good problem solver in Ada I have no pretention of > being able to 'mix it' with the heavier developers in your group so I have no > compunction about humbly slapping my soul on the table in this matter. What does this mean? I don't know what "slapping your soul on the table" means, but I suspect it is more hyperbole for humility that you never follow up on. Folks have offered to help you fix your code and make it more usable, and you have rejected *ALL* such offers. My offer of a clean rewrite of your ciphers stands. You can have it and do what you like with it. > I need to be able to do this as de rigueur in future with finished work because > I want to make my stuff to be more transparent and user-friendly. This is good, if you want others to read and understand your code. It will also help you do the same and make your programs easier to maintain. The words you wrote, however, are harder to follow than they need to be. The "de rigueur" doesn't fit properly. > Your help as always would be appreciated. Promise? M
