That was not at all. Not only that, but it was my sixth attempt at a response and by far the most civil I could manage to a question which doesn't read very civil to me. Perhaps the fault is entirely with my reading of your question.
Sorry if you found it curt - it was a short post precisely because I didn't want to blabber on when I wasn't about to answer your question.
I'm simply interested in why it needs to be a module. I use LUA in DevC++... I don't own Max but straightforward LUA integration might finally give me an excuse to buy it. What I really want to avoid, though, is the kind of "module limbo" you're experiencing; and I wasn't sure why, in a language that is supposed to compile C (right?) you need anything sitting between your code and the LUA library.
