Good point. How does Euphoria 2.5 stack up against other interpreted languages? (I don't count Java or C# because they are technically compiled into bytecode.) Is it still faster than most versions of BASIC, which is its true competitor? How about Python? > > 2.5 loading speed is a disaster ! > > 2.5 is not an improvement over the former way that Euphoria > was previously distibuted.

RDS decided to do that. > The effort should of gone into creating a Compiler. How *do* 2.4 and previous versions handle the problem? Do they execute a line of code right after it has been parsed and then set a flag when all lines have been parsed? How does it work in the older versions and why couldn't it be implemented in the Euphoria front end? > > Bernie > > My files in archive: > w32engin.ew mixedlib.e eu_engin.e win32eru.ew > > Can be downloaded here: > <a > href="http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=bernie+ryan">http://www.rapideuphoria.com/cgi-bin/asearch.exu?dos=on&win=on&lnx=on&gen=on&keywords=bernie+ryan</a> > ===================================== Too many freaks, not enough circuses. j.
