RobC, please add a REAL sleep(0) between file fetches when Eu starts up, 
and close the files asap, either before or after the Eu.exe is decompressed in 
memory. If the include is a big one, how about dropping in some sleep(0) in 
the middle of it somewhere, so the OS has a chance to deal with other 
programs. This isn't win3.1 or dos anymore, and the bloated OSs today need 
more time, and need the app to open more slots for it to get time-sensitive 
things done.

Thanks,
Kat,
contrary to popular opinion, windows uses sleep(0) to deal with msg que on 
other apps, it's not useless. Modify your misc.e to allow sleep(0).
