There are no instructions on how to turn mylib.asp into a javascript file.

This may be a good time to add a README.

recommended README.md format

Note the API documentation should just link to the website.

Also note that github projects without readmes are considered "unfriendly". At least I personally find them so.

Further note: Using asp as a build system is "ugly" and not very cross-platform system. It's "popular" these days to use node.js as a build system. Note that using node.js (or any other build system) would allow you to split the main mylib file into multiple files (similarly to how jQuery does so). As for being cross platform one can use makefiles to run a node build file in *unix environments and use windows .cmd files to run build scripts in a windows environment.

Right. You can use the builder (recommended) or globally replace the ASP
directives.

Been meaning to do that.

But I want the documentation in the repo so people can update it. :)

Basically, replace "<%" with "//<%" in a text editor, reverse to put it
back.

Or, if you have a Windows Web server that supports ASP (e.g. Personal Web
Server on XP), you can run the app locally (much easier). I've been
meaning to port the app to PHP, but haven't had time.

And ultimately, I will have to copy the changed file(s) to the Web server.
The first of these updates will occur soon as I have patched a half-dozen
bugs, typos, etc. in the last couple of weeks (and there are a few more
mentioned in the discussion group and the old bug tracker).
