Re: AW: [Dynapi-Dev] DynAPI build, Splitting files

[Robert R. <rra...@ya...>]

There is one major problem with splitting the files and having
different people working on them. The separate versions for each
browser will become inconsistent with each other when people make
changes to one and not the other. People will add "features" to some
versions and not to others. Then, you don't have a cross-browser
library, but a useless waste of files.

By the way has anybody looked at the compresses files that are now
apart of the DynAPI?
