Well, I have to second the motion myself now that two others have spoken
up. Besides, I haven't seen much other traffic on this mailing list.
The answer to the "low-level" question that I asked of Clinton Jeffery
regarding the "brute-force" technique of making .exe's turned out to be
trivial. I would not even consider it "low-level." What happens is
that the icode is appended to the iconx interpreter (within the same
file). This copy of the interpreter, upon startup, opens *itself* as
the file for interpretation and automatically skips past the code to the
icode data part of the file.
