It might all be due to the initial bug in the PD source.
I won't know until I fix that bug.
He is using fractional subscripts and they aren't
handled properly by the PD source.
I'll test his other programs too, after I fix the 
initial bug.

If something doesn't run correctly with "exw eu.ex", 
there is no point in translating/compiling eu.ex. That
will just remove error checks, and make error messages
happen more remotely from the actual problem, and 
probably seem more bizarre.
