Hello list,<br>
<br>
I have a few questions about support for .ez archives, and one or two suggestions as well.<br>
<br>

- does the -include_lib(...) directive now work (in R15) when the headers are in an archive?<br></blockquote><div><br>Björn, is there a timeline?<br><br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

As a suggestion: I've noticed that the way most people build an escript binary is to glue everything together into a zip file with the appropriate header content and I wonder whether having 'executable (.ez) archives' would be a better approach? Perhaps this works today and I haven't figured it out? What are peoples thoughts about this?<br>
