Hi all,
I'm making a big program in Eu 2.2 with a lot of not stamped files that v=
iolate
the 300 statement limit.When I bind the program,the code is linked to the
public domain interpreter and will not create an ex.err file if my progra=
m
crashes when a customer 
runs it.The ex.err file gives me unvaluable
important information about the circumstances in which my program failed =
that I=20
cannot test neither reproduce in my computer.
For example,when opening some files the program crashes becouse it doesn'=
t have
enough memory.Sometimes it fails to open a 6 mb file and sometimes a smal=
l
100kb one,therefore I can't use a "if SIZE > 6mb then skip_file" routine.
I got a couple of suggestions and wishes that I would like to see(Rob, pl=
ease!)
in future releases of Euphoria.In my humble opinion there's two possible
solutions to my problem(maybe someone else has the same problem,just
wondering):=20
1) modify pdex.exe in order to provide this ex.err so customers can
send the file to the programmer to analize
2) ship with the complete edition a program to stamp our files :)
If anyone has a solution or suggestion to solve this kind of problems,
please,let me know!!!

Has anyone written a program to change the dos system fonts in text mode?
Regards & thanks,
Luis

You should get an ex.err file.
The trouble is, it will refer to the shrouded version
of your program, so anything other than the
error message may be hard to understand.
In the next version of bind I intend to allow binding
of clear, unshrouded source so you'll get meaningful
tracebacks.

That's possible. I'll consider it. There are a few issues
to resolve however. Like whether you'd ever have to
pay for an upgrade again.
