One note about using Euphoria sequences as a database form. One = mistaken assumption is that the file is one huge sequence that must be = read in at once. Store Manager uses sequences as its database, but each = record is a single sequence. The program uses a while GET_SUCCESS loop = to read in all the records it needs. For now, since I want the whole = database (they're small for now), I read it all in. But later, I can = easily change it to read a single record without changing the structure. = Also, new records are simply appended to the end of the file. No = commas should separate the records since they are completely separate = sequences. =20 Drawback: When editing a record, the entire file must be rewritten to = disk. While not difficult to implement, it is time-consuming for the = user. Please see previous posts in the archives regarding that topic. [Linux] I've had RedHat 4.1 Linux on my hard drive for a while. I've noticed no = real problems with it, but I don't use it that much either. Most of my = computer usage is for Euphoria which doesn't have an official Linux = version yet ~8(. Rob: I will happily register in advance for the promise of a Linux = version of Euphoria (with shared library accessibility, of course) if = one can be released within the next year. Please????

Please???? > As will I :) this (Linux) is the best news I've seen here in quite a long time. Rob, you can have my check, and also a volunteer beta (or alpha) tester, if you want. Soon I shall reclaim the 100 megs I left behind as a DOS partition. (Evile laugh) Irv
