1. Question for Rob on bindw
Robert,
Thanks for all the latest efforts to improve euphoria. I have been
doing some programming using win32lib and have discovered that bindw
does not support long file names. Take for instance a program with
the name of FirstInstance.exw, I have to type the bind command like this
bindw -clear_routines FirstI~1 which results in FirstI~1.exe I then have
to Rename the program to FirstInstance.exe. Is it possible that you
could please add Long File Name Support to bindw to your list of things
to do.
Thanks In Advance.
Ferlin

It's about time someone mentioned this little 'bug'. I don't know how many
.exe's I've accidentally overwritten because of this silly 'shortcoming'

bindw.bat uses ex.exe (DOS32).
It will open existing long file names for reading and writing,
but will use 8.3 names on new files that you create.
I intend to fix this in ex.exe.
You could try changing bindw.bat to use exw.exe instead of
ex.exe. I did a very quick test and it seems to work.
