Currently, only ctags.exe and readtags.exe are included in the release package.
Should we also include optscript.exe and mini-geany.exe in the package?

@masatake What do you think?

mini-geany is only for testing purposes. None wants to install it.

optscript.exe is for hard-core parser developers. So users of the binary package don't want to use and install it.

Last year I developed an interpreter and embedded it to ctags. The interpreter makes --regex-<LANG> option highly extensible. pod.ctags is a parser using the interpreter.

optscript.exe is a stand-alone interpreter. With the command, a user can try the interpreter without ctags. It may help the user understand the language and its implementation:

OPT> 3 5 add
OPT<1> pstack

Thank you for the explanation. So, no need to include them in the package.
Closing.
