As I understand it, you would not need to buy the RDS package.
My Euphoria extensions can only have the capabilities of the
PD version, plus the extensions I add, and is therefore free
as far as RDS is concerned.  RDS sells the Binding,
Tracing, Translating and Profiling capabilities, and I do
not know if they apply only to RDS Euphoria code, or work
on extended programs as well.

I am compiling the source code using LCC on Windows, to generate exw.exe.
I assume that I can generate an ex.exe version fairly easily. I would
then be in a position to distribute a windows or dos executeable along
with some documentation, which I believe is legal under Rob's licence.
Unix may take a little longer, unless someone is willing to get the
modified source and compile it themselves.

Speed:  These modifications slow down Euphoria by an infinitesimal amount.
Unfortunately, using LCC instead of Watcom for compilation slows the
interpreter by about 20%. (Watcom is GOOD). Watcom is not currently
available but I may switch to Borland (about 10% slower than Watcom).

Getting the code to (appear to) work is only half the battle,
but the thought that someone might actually buy it should
spur my efforts.

There may be errors above -- corrections are welcome.
