The EE installer just unpacks a bunch of files. There's no way of having an
installer (mine or anyone else's) rewrite the PIF without actually
generating one from scratch. Unless you know the PIF file format... Maybe
the
best option would be to have Travis's installer remove the PIF entirely,
since Windows generates one automatically for DOS programs?

Despite the limitations of PIF control, the editor itself works wherever
Euphoria is installed, even if that 'wherever' is 'nowhere'. :)

I've got to admit though, isn't EE a little old in these WinEuphoria days?
Wouldn't it be better to install Judith's IDE (which I haven't had chance to
look at yet) instead?


While I'm on the subject of EE, how many people would want me to add the new
language features (upgrade it to version 2.3) when the new release of
Euphoria comes along?
