You can for instance link a resource that contains version information
with your translated & compiled EXE programs. In contrast, a program that
is bound to the intepreter does not contain version information.

Later you can right-click on your EXE file and select "properties" from
the context menu. If you see a tab with version information, then it's
a translated & compiled executable -- if not, it's either a bound
executable, or you forgot to link the resource.

If that last point is unlikely to change, you could use the entry point:

cl=command_line()
 if equal(cl[1],cl[2]) then  -- prog is bound or translated
   fn=open(cl[1],"rb")
   void = seek(fn,#A8)
   ep={getc(fn),getc(fn),getc(fn),getc(fn)}
   close(fn)
   if equal(ep,{#10,#0F,#03,#00}) then  -- Eu 2.4 exw entry point, I think
   else                    -- assume eu2c'd

The above is completely untested, btw.
Alternatively you could try patching a 1 at offset #7F into any .exe you create
via eu2c and assume that all versions of eu (/bound files) will have a 0 there,
or examine the PE headers (I use OllyDebug) and see if there is anything else
that sticks out, maybe an EC.LIB section, (I'm guessing now).

Pete

programs report Bound with C

Here's a simple demonstration of how to implement my idea:

--translate.ex
include misc.e
integer interpreted
-- This if statement is to fool the tranlator's optimizer
if platform() = WIN32 then
	interpreted = 1
else
	interpreted = 0
end if

if not interpreted then
	puts(1, "I'm translated!\n")
else
	puts(1, "I'm interpreted!\n")
end if

After translating, I edited main-.c to make sure that _1interpreted was 
always set to 0.  Of course, your file may look a bit different, since
you're using 2.4 (and the optimizer might not be as aggressive, either), 
but the idea is the same.

#include "C:\EUPHORIA\include\euphoria.h"
#include "main-.h"
