Is there a way to use a .dsu file at runtime and not have it compiled in with the script? This would be very nice to be able to create "plug-ins" for a program.

That would probably be possible if next version of VDS will have ability to compile dlls Question

Currently I think all the dsu/include files are ultimately compiled as if it were a single dsc file.
Giving the exe ability to read .dsu at runtime may affect the execution speed of the exe as it involves more disk access compared to memory access than if it were a .dll.

I think if not a dll atleast allowing each include/dsu file to be made to run as a seperate thread (optionally) would make the app much more efficient. This may help while using complex scripts, API and non VDS dlls.
My 2 cents. I may be wrong.
