Hi

You have a terminology problem which makes you harder to understand.

> Question: How do I establish a (.exe) program link for immediate calling
> of my cipher programs from a computer desktop say.

Programs are not "established"; they are "compiled (and linked)" or "built".

The term "a (.exe) program link" should just be "an executable program".

The term "immediate calling" has no meaning, but I guess you intend to
say "running". Programs are "run" or "executed", not "called".

The relevance of the desktop is unclear.

You also ask things that are contrary to your actions or contradictory:

This is a contradiction; either "portable" or "locally here at home", pick one.
Portability implies another place which you do not make known. It could be
customers or co-workers for example. (I suspect you mean the folks who
download your stuff; if so, best make that explicit).

What does this mean? I don't know what "slapping your soul on the table"
means, but I suspect it is more hyperbole for humility that you never follow
up on. Folks have offered to help you fix your code and make it more
usable, and you have rejected *ALL* such offers.

My offer of a clean rewrite of your ciphers stands. You can have it and do
what you like with it.

This is good, if you want others to read and understand your code. It will also
help you do the same and make your programs easier to maintain. The words
you wrote, however, are harder to follow than they need to be. The "de rigueur"
doesn't fit properly.

Promise?
