Ok. This only concerns which last desperate attempt is made to open the file
(and indeed trying to open a .exu under Windows will likely fail to find any). So
I agree with the last sentence, and assume you'll commit the change.
However, the error is there, even though the file is at its expected location (I
double click on its icon). Same problem here at office, with XP Pro SP2 and
unmodified interpreter - I don't have a C compiler here. And changing the folder
name to not include spaces causes the file to properly open again, so there's
something to fix. Perhaps no fix is needed for versions of Windows earlier than
XP - any feedback?
