Heh... maybe you should go through and see how many you can actually remove?

Fair enough, I'm sure you've made a informed decision about this.

Fair enough. A project that will add LFN support to DOS Open Watcom is underway
and might become part of compiler and CLIB in the near future. That might be
something to check out later on. Thanks for evaluating it anyway. 
I'm very impressed at the little things you've done to tasking Euphoria v2.5.
I'm looking forward to Euphoria v3.0, because it's really going to kick @$$!
