danny,
not that it matters, but I agree. if the design is a good design, it
would not have to be redesigned on every release. in fact, the modules
template should also follow this philosophy that way you can concentrate
on adding functions and not the design...
sometimes, it is smarter to scrap what you have and use the knowledge
gained to come up with a design that provides for a good, tightly
integrated, but flexible facility to interact with multiple components.
for example, the admin interface on * is just such of a system. you can
add commands as required (I haven't looked at the code to see if it is
easy to do though).
the more time you put into design, the less time you have to spend
programming.
IMHO,

Paul, this is probably a "dumb question", but why are some (or is it all and
I just don't notice it) modules "fundamentally changed" from release to
release (or version to version)? As a C-dabbler, it seems to me that if I
do gcc app_voicemail.c (using voicemail as an example) on 1.6 or 1.8, it
should be fundamentally similar to doing the same thing in 1.4. It seems to
me that the 9500 line module that compiles and runs in 1.4 should be pretty
much the same as what is in 1.6 or 1.8, but on closer inspection it is often
not. I know that some things have to change to add the new enhanced
functionality, but from a "dinosaur programmer" perspective, the fewer
background changes you have from release to release and version to version,
the less chance you have of something breaking and having unhappy users.
Please elaborate on what is wrong with my thought.
Thanks in advance.
