1. Registered version of EU
I bought the registered version of Euphoria a few days ago, and have started
playing with it.
2 questions:
1. Why is hello, world 180k when compiled?
2. I bound an exw using 'bindw "cube_demo.exw"' and the outputted file name
was truncated, and all capitals; CUBE_D~1.EXE. Are there any command-line
options for bind and bindw? The docs inside them didn't help any. Something
like gcc's "-o outputfilename" would be perfect :oP

Euphoria is interpreted, not compiled. When you bind a "Hello, world"
program, you are simply joining the interpreter and the program into a
single exe file.

Sorry, can't help you there.

binding doesn't do any "compiling".
It just attaches your program (minus comments and whitespace)
to the end of ex.exe (184K), or exw.exe (73K), or exu etc.
If you translate to C and use Borland, you'll get a 108K .exe.
(40K with Lcc, 82K with Watcom). There's a lot of infrastructure
and runtime routines that are pulled into any .exe.

I don't have any trouble creating long filename .exe's
using either bind or bindw. Maybe your DIR command
reverted to DOS format.

In 2.4 beta, there's a "-out filename" option for that.
