So there are some limits.  I just read from another msg that there is no
"goto" & "string" function.  I am abit 
disappointed of the size of the "binded" file size at 
this time.  I have already tried unsuccessfully, to compress a pgm that
was written with Euphoria.  The pgm
file got corrupted when I compress/pack the pgm file.

I do have a small viewer I am playing with now & the 
file size is less than 10k.  While it is limited to it's
ability to do some things I would like, it will view large
text files, which is what the pgm is designed to do, has
a "goto", "string" & "find" command in it.  For what I am 
trying to use it for, it can not do some things that 
Windoz's pgms do.  I am trying to find a pgm that will
do the same my emailer pgm can do but written for Dos.
View large text file, sort, find, & search featured in the
viewer.  List.com is/was a popular text viewer made with
Dos in mind but not designed for my application.

The code file that supports these other format is not
available without registering Euphoria?

Do you know other programming languages & use them when
you can not get Euphoria to do what you want?

Thanks for info.  While Euphoria is limited I like that 
it can work in multiple os's.  I am just wondering if with
only afew key program files such as ex.exe, exw.exe, win32lib.ew & maybe
afew others, that I can run some pgms
& save hard drive space at the same time.
