        Think you have done enough... you could get Packard's source with
this for exemple, he problely doesn't want that.. cause he is asking
money for it... that's why i hope everybody deletes the rip &
unshroud from his HD as respect to commercial development in
Euphoria.

        He has a routine list when you press F2
        What about a project manager and inbuilt precompile and macro
options....
