Here are the results of some tests that I ran, when Eu 2.5 was at alpha
stage, concerning Euphoria's built-in functions (view with a fixed width
font). The first columns apply to programs interpreted by ex.exe, the
last column applies to programs that are translated and compiled by DJG.


                      +   =    LFN supported
                      -   = no LFN supported

Using my LFN.ZIP library, just write "+" in all fields.
