Good to know! I assumed when I "compiled" an executable it was exactly that, a compiled executable. file is telling me differently though: $ file HelloWorld.gambas HelloWorld.gambas: a gbr2 script text executable I guess the same could be said of any interpreted scripting language though? Such as perl or python? I kind of need those installed to make that stuff run too. I still think Gambas is pretty slick and I'll use it to make little calculators and stuff that I can use for some other interests of mine. ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
