1. FIX by David Cuny

The FIX program by David Cuny provided in win32lib is very useful for
me. And I use that for distributing programs because I am an
unregistered user. So I have a wish list for FIX.
1. Change "id_" prefix to something shorter, eg. "i"
or better: use "A", "B", "C"... "AA", "AB", "AC"... "AAA" ....
for substitution of variable and proc name.
2. Bug: If an include file does not have \n at the end of the file,
it will error.
3. Remove comments in all file.
4. Ability to Bind to exe file.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll look into it.
The rest of the wishlist basically tries to get the advanced features of
Euphoria without paying for them. I'll have to pass on those.

The number 1, 3, 4 is not too necessary..
but for number 5? (remove functions and procedures that not used)
it is for compacting the file size, and although i register, i still
can not get that feature, isnt it?
Thanks very much!

Wow! Thank God!. Someone is NOT willing to allow free devouring rights to the
cannibals!. No free "eat 'em alive" rights
to devour either Rob Craig or Dave Cuny!
Blessings to you, David Cuny.
(Just had to poke my non-sacrificial two-cents into this debate.... My soul
couldn't take the cannibals, any more.).

That's correct, you can't currently do this.
If I recall correctly, Robert has promised this features - along with a fix
for routine_id that will make FIX unnecessary - in a future release of BIND.
EC already does a two-pass sweep to remove any uncalled routines and
constants. I suspect that once Robert has a chance to get his head out of
coding EC, he'll add the changes into BIND.
If he isn't planning on doing that, I'll consider having a go at it. It
would be a major reworking of the code, and it would also have to deal with
constants, since that seems to be where a lot of the bloat in Win32Lib is.
