I need all 6 .exe's. There's not much I can do about it.
You need a different .exe format to run a Windows program
vs. a DOS program.

Those who register the Binder will see that the Binder
is in fact a .il file.

The binder/shrouder can bind or shroud itself.
The interpreter can interpret itself.
The translator can translate itself.
and all three can do their thing to the other two  

Anyway, I understand what you mean. I'll think about it.

Yes that would be possible.
I'd still have as much testing to do,
but fewer files to worry about.
Although people with slow machines might get impatient
when translating something big.
I guess I'm content with the way I'm doing it now.
