Rob, Just thought I'd report this... If a myprog.exu with a Shebang line pointing to the euphoria interpreter is shrouded, the resulting myprog.il file will fail upon execution giving an error message such as: myprog.il:2 O has not been declared O^K³Q |¢X ¨¹$ ³zÃ^_5· Not sure how much more "hand holding" code you are willing to write to make the shrouder more robust in having to deal with such a rare case - how much trouble would it be for the shrouder to cope with the Shebang line pointing to the interpreter rather than backendu? Otherwise, I think a warning or notice in the documentation about this effect would be appropriate. Regards, Ken Rhodes 100% Microsoft Free!

Yes, I can see that people might make that mistake. I'll see what I can do. Thanks, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com

I have never used this, but if I read you right, would not the smart solution be: shebang on line 1 points to the interpreter, and shebang on line 2 points to backendu? Just a thought. Regards, Pete

I think this whole shebang thing is a Highlander culture - "There can be only one" :) Pete, how about coming on over to Linux and porting your editor to EuGTK or WxEuphoria?
