1. I need HELP!
I wrote a simple program this morning that works fine when I run it by typing ex
<program name>. However, I tried to bind the program and I recieved a message a
bout the PD edition not being able to provide full diagnostic support for progra
ms over 300 commands. I am not sure what is wrong. I think there is an error in
bind.ex, but I'm not sure. Please help.

I could be wrong about this, as I only started writing programs above 300
lines AFTER I purchased the Complete Edition of Euphoria, but I think the
shareware bind will not make EXE's out of source that have 300 or more
lines. If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

No, I don't think this is the problem. I was able to bind a
program over 300 lines and I have the shareware version.
I have been trying to get Joseph's error message all day to find
the problem with no success (Sounds weird, huh, TRYING to get an error
message!).

Playing on a hunch I downloaded Euphoria 1.5 beta and tried binding the same pro
gram. For some reason it worked in 1.5, but not in 1.4b

You are so wrong it is not even funny. WRONG WRONG WRONG WRONG! =)
I made exe's of OidZone when the source code was 35k or more in the pd
version before I registered it. If the program hit an error it would give
that "your program exceeds 300 statements, so I won't tell you what's
wrong..." message.
It binds the exe's fine, it just won't do the error checking. The error
checking in a bound exe is just about useless anyway, since you have no
idea what the tokenized procedures are.
I'd prefer a non-shrouded exe to that. At least the ex.err would make
sense then. =)

Thanks for the correction :).......yes, it does sound a little odd trying
to get error messages when we should be avoiding them :}...but it appears
Joseph is on to something regarding the different versions he tried.

I said "correct me if I was wrong", not "please, do piledrive me into the
concrete". :)
But thank you for the correction :)...as I said, I never tried making large
programs using the shareware version. "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria" was
made using the Complete Edition.

I built most (99.5%) of "thatprogramthatwillremainnameless" with the
shareware version and believe you me it was a real headache trying to
debug it with only the "you have an error" message and no direction back
to where the error occurred or what the error was.
BUY THE COMPLETE EDITION.
