Hi Vincent,

Is that a 'yes' or a 'no' ?

If some .ex programs wont run using the source bound with exw (bindw)
then i'll have to create two versions...one with bind and one with bindw
right?  This will give two programs ProgEx.exe and ProgExw.exe.  ProgEx.exe
would be used to run .ex programs (similar to PD ex.exe) and ProgExw.exe
would be used to run .exw programs (similar to PD exw.exe).
Sound about right?

I was hoping to get away with only one exe to distribute.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
