You've lost me here - what is the EE? It's not in the Internals ref.

My programming days are over now - it's been some time since I was a professional and I really don't want to have to learn yet another language! Also, I'm on a windows-based machine, and I gather that this gives difficulties with developing LP (and many other public domain programs).
