jbrown,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.

And yes, I did try using safe.e in place of machine.e.  Of course the 
problem you run into when using win32lib is that tk_mem uses the Windows 
memory management routines so when a routine in tk_mem does a peek or 
poke against that memory safe.e shows an error, which is not true.  My 
solution was to create a version of tk_mem that uses Euphoria's allocate 
and free routines instead (I also had to use register_block in other 
places in my code as well).  Of course the bound program ran fine 
then...

Derek, I would also like to get the traceable version of win32lib as 
well.  Anything to help.

Now if I can just have some Tylenol and antacid delivered.....
