Line 21: : Well, I just took the time to find out. : One CAN move the .exe and run it on another machine just using the Microsoft Windows capabilities. I even ran it from a shortcut on my desktop. : I don't, yet, have access to [https://www.WineHQ.org \| Wine] or another Windows look alike, but that might be an interesting experiment. :[[User:GarveyPatrickD\|GarveyPatrickD]] ([[User talk:GarveyPatrickD\|talk]]) 16:49, 3 December 2020 (UTC) :: Honestly, I expected a standalone EXE because it is 'compiled.' Anyways, I already added "standalone" in "Upon running the code..." sentence. --[[User:Simple9371\|Simple9371]] ([[User talk:Simple9371\|talk]]) 04:20, 4 December 2020 (UTC) ::: Compiling some source doesn't automatically create a standalone .exe. The Plain English compiler generates calls to several Windows .dll files, so it can't be run on a bare X86 motherboard or some other software stack. :::[[User:GarveyPatrickD\|GarveyPatrickD]] ([[User talk:GarveyPatrickD\|talk]]) 14:33, 4 December 2020 (UTC)
