1. IDE 1.0.4

Hey I was testing this and it takes a very long time for the IDE.exw to execute.
I'm under windows XP, P4 1.3 GHz, and 636MB of RAM. Hope that hopes also, I
got an error, but I think its because the directories are correct.

A lot happens when IDE starts up. Some people find that binding or compiling
helps with the speed.

I don't understand your last sentence.

When Eu v2.5 was released, the new structure of the interpreter made things such
that the whole program, of course including all include files, has to be
completely translated to IL before the first insruction gets executed.

With 2.4 and earlier, the splash screen appeared earlier and remained longer on
screen - eventually, the whole beast has to be parsed anyway, doesn't it? This
had angered a few people at the time.

Recovering the ability to execute code as soon as it is parsed - when it is
possible - would need a thorough rewrite of the backend, for no new
functionality. bind and shroud are publicly available now - they weren't at the
time -, so why not simply use them?

Some dynamic code functionality is certainly absent and needed, like including
files conditionally, and are expected in a language that touts itself as
interpreted. I hope some day Æ has it, having lost any hope regarding Eu. There
is some code around, but nowhere near a clean release atm.

Sorry for the confusion. Anyways I did get it to work, it just starts up a
little
slow. I know there's a lot of code in it, but I remember eariler versions being
a lot faster. Anyways I didn't find any bugs while I was testing it, but more
needs to be done. Anyways good work.
