binding doesn't do any "compiling".
It just attaches your program (minus comments and whitespace)
to the end of ex.exe (184K), or exw.exe (73K), or exu etc.

If you translate to C and use Borland, you'll get a 108K .exe.
(40K with Lcc, 82K with Watcom). There's a lot of infrastructure
and runtime routines that are pulled into any .exe.

I don't have any trouble creating long filename .exe's
using either bind or bindw. Maybe your DIR command
reverted to DOS format.

See http://www.rapideuphoria.com/bind.htm

In 2.4 beta, there's a "-out filename" option for that.
