Eu2C is my favorate product, even > more than Euphoria it self :P LOL This is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard on this list. (Both the 2sec compiler, and the 105MB program). That aside, I mostly use Borland, because it builds *so* much faster (although looking now, I see I've still got OW 1.2). Can you please tell me what you envision doing that would legitimately have 105MB of source code? That all *needs* to be loaded at once? Matt Lewis
