Ola outra vez Sergio,

Muito bom, obrigado, e o prazer e meu ingualmente.
Eu aprecio sempre falar com o alguem de Brasil!

I guess you know your software better than i do, but if you are
just doing some file detection and copying you could probably
use the exw form as well as the ex form, unless of course you
have some DOS specific stuff you need.  Maybe you could make
a list of all the Euphoria functions you call and post them 
here and we can try to determine if you can make the move
to the exw form in order to make things run a bit smoother.
Another idea would be to create another exe program you can
call from your .ex program to get the 'dir' of a given
directory and store the results in a text file.  Your .ex
file could then read the text file to get the results.
I used to do this with an old program of mine until converting
to using Window's API function calls.


Ate logo,
Al

E boa sorte com sua programação Euphoria!
