I'm making the final touches to the solution manager on BLIde, and I have a 'language' question. Would it be correct to say a program is a 'importable library' when it is meant to be imported by other programs? Is the word 'importable' correct or should I use another one?

I think I would only call it a library if it had functions or methods which can be called upon from your main program. Many languages refer to `external` files, or `resources`, or maybe `include file`.

Ok, thanks, I think 'external' is the winner, I'm leaving 'resource' for incbined media, and include can be confused with included files. :D

For the record, importable is a word, and it should an :)
