Initialize and Terminate Events for DSU

Having a Initialize and terminate events for a DSU/include file can be very helpful.
These events will be called automatically on loading/unloading the dll.

Especially with API use where one can avoid the mess of user having to call these events for initializing a dll and cleanup events more so when they are not simple.
This avoids e.g. user forgetting to call the dll unload function.

What most of us do is trashing with the dll by repeated load unload inside the dsu

It is also useful to show a demo dialog for shreware DSU at startup rather than showing it up with each function or each time a function is called.

One may suggest a work around for all these but that would be more convenient I think.
Useful or stupid idea

I think you should do somthing like this...

I do understand that a DSU is just compiled into one plain sheet of code and is executed in the same way as a single .dsc file. What I was talking was something like this:

At present I think this is how an include file/.dsu is added to a compiled script (I am only Imagining things here but it may be moslty correct)

It's important for debugging that the line numbers in the compiled script correspond to lines in the original source files. So having the compiler insert bits of code within another file isn't practical. I think this whole thing would be better done by just having functions within your dsu that you have to call at startup and finish. It might seem harder but I think to the novice it's actually more understandable as they can see from the code what's going on, instead of having code being executed that is being called because of some directive somewhere else in the program entirely.
