No, I do not lie.
There is more then one undocumented feature of EU.
There is some latent EU useing -- commercial secrets,
trade secrets, undiscovered bugs etc.
There is no way to make perfect testing of such
complicated and sophisticated programming system
as EU interpreter, translator, binder for number
of platforms, C compilers, different Windows
versions etc etc, before it realised as A, B etc.
There is no perfect thing at all.
So, only God knows, yes, so to say,
if you do not believe.

I think, a trick discovered by users and
absent in the official RDS documentation may be
considered as additional feature.
That on fly creation of include files is absent
in Rob's docs, as far as I know, it was suggested
by users. And it is based on one-pass feature of
interpreter, not for translator and binder, but
worked with translator and binder also as some
trick.

Ok, no protests.
Please ask list for help, if you need.

I am useing, I like it, but it seems to be rare case
indeed. I remember only 3 or 4 real asking.
You can search the list archive for these questions.

Yes, let us try to help those rare users, if they have
the questions how to work around progressive
two-pass interpreter.
