In past I have been successfull in using a pgm called:
UPX but on Euphoria's ex.exe & exw.exe & another pgm I 
found on net, it would not pack the pgm files.

UPX usually works on almost every .exe I have used it on
in past.  In last year however, everyone is putting some
thing in their .exe preventing UPX to shrink/pack the
.exe.  Not sure about this as maybe the industry is pack-
ing their pgm files before releasing them on net.  There
are several packer pgm on net including APack.  UPX is
one I found afew years ago & is freeware.

This viewer links one text file to another...similiar to
the way a htm file is designed by clicking on a link in
a htm file & take you to another htm (link).  In this case
the viewer takes you to another text file.  Viewer is made 
by Horst Shaeffee & is called:  Show  It is freeware.
He is still working on it as his old version I have was
never release on the net but he sent it to me a year ago.
Old version has afew more feature than the new version has.

You can also have a numbered toc in first part of text &
it will take you to that part of text you click on.

Example:

1.] Introduction
2.] About Us

When clicking on 1.] Show will jump further down the text/
doc file to where 1.] is located.

I have not seen a viewer (of text files) do this before &
thought it was cleaver what Show does.

Thanks I would like to try it.

Thanks, that clears alot up in mind about Euphoria &
programming.
