Re: shrouding
Hi:
Have noticed two terms used quite often in relation to Euphoria: binding and
shrouding. I think I know what "binding" means (compiling?). Was wondering
if someone could explain "shrouding" to me in simple, not-too-technical
terms.
TIA
Frank
(and sorry about the very basic nature of this question...very new here)
