Matt:
   The code that is used in a bound form is byte codes
   that only the interpeter understands. Now if the
   code is used in the DLL, it has to be "C" code or some
   big lump of binary code that has to interfaced with
   "C" code so the DLL can export it or expose each
   routine to the outside world. Also the routines have
   to be able to call other code in other DLLs and also
   comunicate with the interpeter. 
   
   That sounds like a lot of work to get around someone
   just translating a program and compiling it with a compiler.
   
   I rather see your idea of trying to interface things
   with COM that would create a whole new world for euphoria.
