At first I was going to include the PD translators in .il form,
and make the registered translators as .exe, just as you suggest.
However one of my goals with this release was to reduce the
number of different executables and .zip files that I have
to produce for a new release. Every component, PD or registered,
has to be tested on every platform before release, 
and there were getting to be too many components. That's why
I got rid of PD vs Complete Translator, and PD vs Complete
Interpreter, and why I bundled all the Translator .zips 
into the one Interpreter .zip. I also found, when translating
something like Judith's IDE that I appreciated the extra speed
from a translated/compiled translator.

That's true. 
Though there's not much to see in a .il. 
Just a bunch of random characters all over your screen. smile

I thought about just giving backend*.exe to those who register
and letting them distribute it along with their apps, 
but it's better for the community if everyone has it automatically.
