Don:

You have to take my C code and use a C compiler (I use Watcom) to make a DLL
file. If you are not familiar with C, and really want to learn, contact me off
forum. But this test case is really a mute point, since an earlier reply
explained to me how to use Euphoria to get my speed improvement.
