I'll put out the source once I get all the features in that I'd like.
As far as speed, well, it definitly needs to be run with the C
backend.

sorting test - 10,000 random integers 0 - 999

    exw.exe -   0.020 seconds
    euw.exe - 11.376 seconds

That's 568% slower!

It's my hope that since I've implemented these features, RDS may be
more likely to use them, since I put in all the grunt work of thinking
and all. Heck, the whole equals thing for sequences was a matter of
changing one line. One line!!! Check this out:

execute.e: line 1139 in procedure opEQUALS_IFW()
    if val[a] = val[b] then

change to:
    if equal( val[a], val[b] ) then

That's it!!! I had to rack my brain figuring out the inner workings of
the interpreter to put in the rest, but now its easy as pie. Rob's
coding style isn't that bad once you get the hang of it.
