Why won't he allow you to compile special .exe files you load with mirc?
- Probably because there are thousands of people who already distribute malicious mIRC scripts and many many thousands who get 'infected' with them all the time - and that's when the milicious code is human-readable. Making it compilable in any way would just make that problem a hundred times worse. What good would a 'compiled' version be over the human-readable version? The potential for misuse far outweighs the speed benefits anything like this could accomplish. Removing the need for DLLs entirely would mean adding Windows API capabilities into mIRC scripting and therefore supporting a host of C features such as structures, pointers, etc. that simply aren't suited to a scripting language. In my opinion it's far better to leave mIRC scripting as what it is - a scripting langauge for an IRC client - rather than try and make it into a kludgey programming language to help those 1% of tasks that can't be accomplished with mIRC scripting as it is.
