1. bind version 2.2 couldn't open source file exw on XP

Recently I replaced my W98 notebook for a new XP Pro notebook.
After copying my Euphoria directory from the W98 notebook to the new XP notebook
and mdoifying the EUDIR and PATH environment variables, restarting the computer I
noticed that the following line:
ex.exe bind.ex -w32 d:\euphoria\ontw\sourcefile.exw

could n't be opend by the bind program.

I can open the file in a text editor to change the program, I can run the
sourceprogram by using the EXW interpeter. I have checked the directory and
fileproperties, they are OK, as a user I should execute them.

So I'm stuck here. Any idea's, should be a permissions problem?

What exactly happens when you try to run the above command? Do you get
any error message?

If it is a permissions problem, then you'll get an appropriate error
message. And what is the real, literal name of the command that you are
trying to run? Does it contain long names?

You might want to try:
exw.exe bind.ex -w32 d:\euphoria\ontw\sourcefile.exw
  ^

Thanks oder danke schön, Juergen.

Your suggestion for using exw.exe seems to work allright.

And the command-line uses long path and filenames.

You are welcome.

Then the reason of the problem probably was -- as I assumed --, that
'ex.exe' couldn't handle the long names properly. I'm glad that binding
works now for you.
