1. TSRs (Terminate and Stay Resident)
I'm not quite at the level where I need to know, but I was curious about this:
does Euphoria support the ability to create TSR programs. That is, can I write
a program that will remain resident in memory and run in the background, but
that I can call up with a "hotkey" or will pop up after a period of keyboard
inactivity (like a screen saver). I'm certain that it can be done by calling
several or more machine routines, but what I really wanted to know was whether
or not Euphoria has a way of doing this easily. Thanks to anyone who can give
me the answer.
P.S. When I recieve and e-mail containing an attached file, the file is
actually just "written out" as lines of symbols @#JD19^acD994. Any sugestions?
Thanks a lot

Well, with the current way Euphoria is set up you can't make it a TSR. For
your program to be a TSR Euphoria must be a TSR itself. There is one way...
if Robert has some extra time (laugh)he could make a special TSR version of
Euphoria that would be a minimal size and just be used to make TSR's with.

Was it BASE64 or MIME?

About TSR, i don't know for certain, but i think even if you "code" a TSR
program,
the Euphoria interpreter (ex.exe) is still loaded conventionaly... so probably
at
most you are going to run a second comand shell... lots of memory wasted!

sugestions?Maybe Hotmail doesn't supports binary files attachments, you should
first convert
your files into pure ASCII files with utilities like BINHEX or XFERPRO
(available
in any shareware-freeware site), an then postit. We (the ones who receive your
mail) will have to do the opposite translation using the same utility.

I could be mistaken, but I do beleive that MIME *uses* the BASE64 encoding
algorithem. Anyway, if you do a search at http://www.shareware.com/ for
"UUENCODE" or "MIME" or "BASE64" you should find several programs that
will translate the attachment back into the original file.

Sounds like you need to get a decoding program. I would recommend getting
the latest version of winzip (6.2 I think ) It will allow you to
encode/decode these attached files quickly and easily. If you dont have
internet access I would recommend going to your local B.B.S.'s and
downloading UUENCODE or BASE64 after you do this I would be more than
happy to send you a copy of winzip6.2.
