Hi Micheal,

  I already written a program to create a list of all includes of a program.
But
it doesn't create an archive just a list on screen (or in a file by using
redirection).
Scanning the main file for include (an recursing into the includes itself)
is not a big
problem because the syntax to include a file is always the same.  But, at
first glance
scanning for all resources (.WAV,.BMP,etc) look complex to me.  As resources
files can
be of any name, for the scanner they would look like any other string constants.

  I'll look At my listinc.ex program to improve it, so it would create an
archive with the main file and the includes, but for the resources files no
promise.

NOTE: for visual basic 3.0 the problem is simpler as the project file
contain the list of all files used by the project. With euphoria there is no
project file.
