I may be wrong, but I think you mean the 300-statement limit of the public
domain edition. Euphoria comes in 2 version, the public domain that is free
and the complete edition that you must pay. The only diference is that the
full runtime error messages you get in your programs is limited to programs
of less than 300 statements in the public domain edition. A "zero
statement-count" is a library or routine that doesn't count to this 300
limit. An example is Win32Lib, a very popular and useful library to do
Windows programming with Euphoria. The library is big enough to consume by
itself those 300 statements, so for a non-registed user that uses this
library his "free" statements would be consumend before he writes a single
line of code of hes own. RDS "stamps" Win32Lib with a special code that
tells the interpreter to not count this file's (win32lib.ew) statements.
