Hi there Vincent,

He he, did he also offer to let you finish painting his house, and
you declined that too :)

It might be 'sorta' reinventing the wheel, but it's got a slight
twist...all the source is written in Euphoria, which means you can
mod it to fit your needs and even have your own programs run on the
end users machine after the install to do any sort of custom work
you see fit.

Oh yeah also, it doubles as a Euphoria resource binder with decent
compression too.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
