Hi again Rob,

I checked to make sure i was using the official release and not the beta.
Here's what i did:

Opened the program using the context menu and "Exw25.exe" ....problem
Opened the program using Exw25b.exw (the beta) ...problem
Copy and pasted the program into Exw25.exe (not the beta) ...still problem

When i downloaded the official release i made sure the beta was named
Exw25b and the new one Exw25 (without the 'b').

I also checked the entire registry for all Exw25.exe entries, and
all of them pointed to the correct directory and program name ie
"Euphoria25\bin\Exw25.exe" and NOT "Euphoria25b\bin\Exw25b.exe".

On opening the program the notes are:
  Euphoria Interpreter 2.5 for 32-bit Windows.
  Copyright (c) Rapid Deployment Software 2005

while the beta version says 'beta' in it too.

The download date (or release date?) is 03/07/2005
while for the beta is 01/13/2005,

but both programs have the same number of bytes.

Is this a bug or was there another release since 03/07 ?


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
