#!bin/sh Should actually be #!/bin/sh  or more to the point
#!/dir/to/euphoria/exu.

But for your specific question, /bin/sh = C:\windows\cmd.exe  It is the shell in
which to execute Shell Scripts.  On linux, there is no such thing as extentions,
especially when it comes to scripts, you could litterally have DMAK named dmak,
as long as you had the #!/dir/to/euphoria/exu at the top, and it will run the
Euphoria interpreter for the program.

Another common thing about it, is the fact that #! is called the She-Bang, which
desginates that an Interpreter of some sort is to be used here, weither it be a
Shell Interpreter, a Perl Interpreter, a Euphoria interpreter or anything else
out there.

But depending apon what is actually on the first line of code in that, is
dependant apon what you actually have there, if you have an include statement, a
comment, what have you.  Just some things to look at.
