- I can't help it! AMOS Extensions have to be designed to take a specific number
- of commands, and if you add more they have to be tacked on to the end of the
- list.. Anyway, I hate sloppy code like that, so I designed my extension with
- plenty of `spare' slots to put commands it. The problem is, I keep running out
- of spare slots. Most versions interact with each other nicely, you only get
- problems with a new `phase' (after I've created more spaces here and there).
- I'm not sure, but I think the Easylife extension uses a similar method.

- However I realise it is a problem, but is ASCII really the solution? How would
- people to react to loading in ASCII extension files? Also, does anyone want to
- be able to read tooltypes? I'm thinking of doing it but if noone's interested
- I won't bother.
