Hi
Just so everyone's clear, setenv.bat only updates the environment variables for the current session - ie open a DOS box, run setenv.bat, then the eu program in that same box. If you open another dos box, or click on program, the environment variables will not be seen to be changed
This is why I use setenv.exe http://barnyard.syr.edu/~vefatica/#SETENV which updates the environment variables system wide in the eu3.1 total setup, and the registry entries too, to avoid the need for a reboot.
Ok, I'll bite. Why are you signing yourself as useles Kat, when you're not?

I wrote that .bat to intentionally limit the environment vars to that one session, for the reasons stated. In this way, my odd way of using Euphoria for so many different things, on different drives, with different paths to Eu root dir, won't allow one exw.exe to use the env vars or paths or code for any other application unless i explicitly code that path in.
I feel i am useless, for various reasons, both online and in real life. Just explaining and sticking to my reasons for doing the EUINC and EUDIR this way feels a lot like climbing an escalator the wrong way as a crowd comes down it. As reference, see http://openeuphoria.org/EUforum/index.cgi?module=forum&action=flat&id=104290#unread
I know my reasons are valid, despite the crowd, but then the crowd will refuse to acknowledge or use them. No use, hence:
useless
