Hello again ,

i am currently on the graphics page topics of the "A Beginners Guide to Euphoria" from Mr. David Gay.

Or can anyone suggest a better guide for beginners to download ?

I realized that this guide was written for the MS DOS system. The DOS system is really good.

Anyway , i have here Windows XP in use.

All the topics of programming until here are comprehended.

Let me give the example of program number : 47 from the guide.

Testing the "position" function in Euphoria.

All the graphics do not work without DOS.

Can anyone give me some suggestion HOW i can run theese programs from the Guide nevertheless.

Enclosed are here the screenshots from the Euphoria Interpreter.

I like DOS too, and I've used it for industrial programming - since it's not multitasking OS, safe and simple.

Just wanted to add:

1) For DOS demos you need to download and use Euphoria 3.1.1, and it works very good on FreeDOS and on Windows-XP.

2) I've created a QuickBasic styled editor, QE Editor, which is more powerful then EE Editor since it was designed only for DOS, I recommend to download it from: http://rapideuphoria.com/qe2.3.9.zip

3) While using DOSBox is good, these days it's very easy to install FreeDOS 1.1 on a USB-Key, and reboot the PC from this USB-Key.
It will work even faster then a hard-disk, it doesn't crash, and it gives you the joy of working with pure DOS on any modern PC (that has BIOS!) everywhere you go. (Remember that DOS used to run on floppy disks, so USB is not such a bad idea).
