Andy,

         If you aren't wedded to Euphoria for this, I've been using a 
16-bit DOS app for this called RPS, written by the late Robert Pirko, for 
many years.  It's rock solid, very fast and extremely versatile.  I chose 
it after examining a lot of others.  I'm sure it's still around on the net 
but if you can't find it, I'll be happy to send it.

                         Bob
