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. Alexander Yakovlev

I've been tinkering with a few such compressors, including Ain, 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. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software

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. -- For information on any of the following check out my WEB site at: http://www.execpc.com/~bpaddock/ or http://www.usachoice.net/bpaddock Chemical Free Air Conditioning/No CFC's, Chronic Pain Relief, Electromedicine, Electronics, Explore!, Free Energy, Full Disclosure, KeelyNet, Matric Limited, Neurophone, Oil City PA, Philadelphia Experiment.
