This is something I've been wondering lately:

Why aren't the tools that come with VDS (such as Dialog Designer,
Script Converter, Variable Counter, etc.) open-source? I think that
if they were they could be greatly improved upon and made to have
almost no errors if they were open-source. Plus, everyone would be
able to customize them to their own liking or move things around to
make it so that it worked more efficiently.

Just a thought.

Open-source programs are very useful, but if a lot of people are customizing it, all versions will have different abilities... Not that I say it isn’t worth the try, but look at Linux for example. There are so many distributions that you don’t know which to try...

Of course, there should be an Official Distribution, but what I meant was
that each person could customize it for their own personal use. Wink

In that case I'll agree with you... Wink

BTW. Look on Tommy's site for some worked-out examples of things like a Windows Spy and a simple Dialog Editor...
