1. errno
FYI, wsock32.DLL opens up find in Euphoria! I'm currently writing up the
necessary .e files, as well as some helper functions. I'm just hoping
that windows sockets are not horrifically different from UNIX sockets
(which I know pretty well).
In any case, is there a standard way in Euphoria to access the errno that
the funtions in a DLL set? I'm getting an error from my socket routine
(By digging in some documentation, I found that I hadn't initialized
correctly). However, being able to get errno, or some kind of err descriptor
would have saved time.

I'll post a Word document on Windows sockets programming specifics
in ALT.LANG.EUPHORIA. It should have some important information.
If this is not a good option then I'll put it on my Geocities site.

Try GetLastError() function in kernel32.dll

In the WIN32 API there's:
DWORD GetLastError(VOID)
When you call a WIN32 function and it fails,
call GetLastError() immediately
to get the integer error code.
GetLastError() is in kernel32.dll. You'll have to link
to it from Euphoria.
There's a list of error codes and what they mean in
the Appendix of the WIN32 section of the WIN32
SDK help file. The documentation for the specific
routine you are calling might say something about
the possible error codes for that routine.
