As a random thought... Would LuaJIT's bytecode lend itself to decompiling back into Lua source code? Not necessarily *readable* source code, but something that could be compiled again into the same bytecode. This would make the first two problems go away, would obviate the need for a reader, and would solve the issue of dumped functions not reloading due to bytecode format changes. -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "Thou who might be our Father, who perhaps may be in Heaven, hallowed │ be Thy Name, if Name Thou hast and any desire to see it hallowed..." │ --- _Creatures of Light and Darkness_, Roger Zelazny
