1. ?exe-compressor for E.?
Hello dear Mr Everybody,
I'm just wondering if someone has tried an exe-compressor on a bound Euphoria
executable. I've been tinkering with a few such compressors, including Ain,
PkLite, Stanislav's Security and a few others (probably the wrong versions?),
with little success. Does anyone know of one that works? Could someone give
me a pointer to an exe-compressor that doesn't scissor off the overlay?
And by the way, a merry Orthodox Christmas to everyone marking it.

Something to keep in mind:
1. ex.exe is already a compressed executable.
I use the .exe compression option that's part of the Causeway
DOS extender package. Without compression I believe ex.exe would
be about 100K larger.
2. The shrouded code that is tacked onto the end of ex.exe when
you bind a Euphoria program, is fairly compact. It consists
of short variable names, byte-codes for keywords, no comments
or extra blanks etc.
Conclusion: You can probably compress a bound Euphoria program a bit more,
but don't expect to save very much. Of course there may be other reasons for
compressing it, such as enhanced security.

Check the .DOC's for a command line switch to do this. I
had to give up on PkLite has it crashed windows and WIN95
systems to often. If you plan on wide distribution I'd give
up on it.
