You don't need to do that at all. Copy exw.exe, and any files from C:/Euphoria/include you use into the directory with your application code. Run it there. It works just fine. If you want, you can rename C:/Euphoria, edit out any settings in your autoexec.bat and/or remove anything in the system registry, [and if you like, reboot] - it won't make any difference. It will still work. The only reason you might need a (free) binder/shrouder/translator is the luxury of distributing a single file. Personally I see little gain over distributing a single directory. <snip> >Another part of this goes back to RDS strategy- > >1. RDS is arguably USING FREEWARE apps created by others for >NON-profit, to SELL its products. The most prominent thing you see on >the site is the freeware apps. I believe the complete lack of PAYWARE apps on the site sends the wrong message. A healthy balance, suggesting you can actually make some (real, not monopoly micro-dollar) money can only be a good thing. Regards, Pete
