I provided a script "load" to load any new addon, but work obiously only
for UMSDOS.
We have to transfer, for example, the setup/smbd code on the SRV floppy-disk.
If the SRV addon is loaded, it must run every resourse linked to it.
This is a system "addon-driven", not "resource-driven".
I answered to this question already 10-15 times: you know, to repeat
the same things it is not very interesting for anyone.
So, If I change a byte in the Setup script and a byte in the smbd.fun
code, I have to trasfer on the site 4M?
I also explained the crude reality: to keep all important code in the
single /setup directory help me in developing, reproducing and publishing
new stuff, and this simple solution is still prone to error.
A sort of object-oriented programming is already provided with addon:
in fact, the addon loader ONLY unpack the addon then run the
script "prolog" located in /usr/XYZ/bin/prolog.

The addon-driven idea is conceptually the best way: it is standard in
may distro, like Debian. But in Debian we have a pletora of
package-mantainer, so any "add-on" has it own style. But mulinux?
In the future, having time to spent, I will search a solution not
expensive and will do a try, but believe me: it seems to me a little
revolution in the actual structure.
