Re: Patchless modification of Lua source code

I cannot even find any reference about INRAC on the net. All I find is the acronym and brand in France of the "Institut National pour la Retraite ACtive", a training institute for senior people.

I find a reference in GitHub for the name of a module written in Perl for reverse engineering of RAC files used in the early 1980s by the RACTER program, used for chatting, an ancestor of IRC... But I don't know if you refer to this Perl module and its related language. This is an alpha module, not tested, not even documented.

I said "I do not know", you replied by giving an example you know but is almost confidential, whose applications using it are rare to find.

So you don't disagree what I said, you confirm it!

  INRAC.

  A computer language with non-deterministic binding (and flow control, but
I digress), used for a few commerical programs that I know of.
