addx' filetyping

10.25: addx/filetyping:

. file`type"addx is the generic type for

files that are natively exe'able;

ie, when on a pc, .exe's are renamed .addx .

and on a mac, .app's become .addx .

. of course this naming is not imposed on the native file,

but appears with addx`file.types when viewed from within

the adde file sytem viewer .

. this naming applies only to exec'ables known to be generated by addx;

ie, when adda has generated a .c file

that was then compiled to native code,

the exec'able output of that is a .addx file .

. type"addx is a sign that the exec'able conforms to the

addx managed runtime

which is offering safety the way {mono, .net} does .

(as a sanity check it does a hash of the file to see if has been changed) .

. {adda, addm, adde} are usually in binary format

unless written to .txt files, eg, as x.adda.txt .

all addx binary formats having an exportable .txt equivalent .

. adda files open into an adde ide session

where you can modify, recompile, and rerun adda code .

. adda compiles to either c or addm,

and the c is passed to the native compiler for creating addx files

while the addm bytecode can be run by the addm vm .

. addm files open into the addm vm,

and may either start a bytecoded program,

or start up a dialog telling what the program does,

and offering the same things the context menu does:

the option to open in the ide,

where you can modify, and rerun addm code .

. adde files are saved sessions,

and therefore resume a desktop session when opened .

. windows to finder, editor, and ide are found the way you left them .
