1. Someone Help
Installed EUPHORIA from .zip download, installed into C:\EUPHORIA through
DOS, screen showed files being installed, at the end it said to have fun. I
was asked to approve any changes to my autoexec.bat file.
My autoexec.bat after (reboot) shows:
C:\>SET EUDIR=C:\EUPHORIA
C:\>SET PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\EUPHORIA\BIN;C:\EUPHORIA\BIN
C:\>
I MUST ADMIT I DON'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT DOS/just started with computers
abt. 1 year now
When I go into DOS to open EUPHORIA
C:\>CD:\EUPHORIA
C:\EUPHORIA>EX
file name to execute?EX BUZZ or EX LW etc.
Tells me can't open BUZZ.EX or EX LW etc.
The only way I can get EUPHORIA to work for me is if I take all files out of
their
folders and put them into the
C:\EUPHORIA\Bin folder.
And to edit these files I have to also put them into the C:\EUPHORIA folder.
Can you PLEASE tell me what am I doing wrong?
EUPHOR DIR Shows
5 file(s) 33,818 bytes
7 dir(s) 611,549,184 bytes free
What am I doing Wrong with (EUPHORIA) ???
THANK YOU

Type:
cd euphoria\demo
ex buzz
And it will start up buzz.
You have to be in the directory where your program is you want to open, or
at least specify that directory:
For example:
ex c:\euphoria\demo\buzz
Will also work.
Hope this helps.

You have to log into the demo directories or put them in your PATH.

since ralf already showed you how to fix your dilemma,
i won't, but instead, i'll welcome you to the world
of computers and programming. You mentioned you've
been only using computers for about a year, have you
done any programming yet? If not, Euphoria may very
well be the _best_ language to learn to program with.
It's a fantastic teaching/learning language.
And it's quite fun, and extremely powerfull.
Hopefully, you have been getting the listserv for
the past week or so, as Alan Tu has been authoring
a rather nice introduction to Euphoria and programming
in general. Please let us know if you haven't seen
those messages, and I'm sure one of us can resend
them to you.
Another thing good for starting out, take some time,
sit down, and slowly, carefully, read RefMan.Doc.
Do not worry if you don't grasp the entire file
right off. Heh, very few of us, including the
experienced programmers of the group, fully
digested the sublety on first read. But it's
very helpfull to read that file first, then
begin working with the David Gay "beginners
guide to euphoria" tutorial.
As an anecdote, my wife, who has had very little
programming experience, worked with that tutorial
and became able to 'tinker', if you will...
Enjoy, have fun, ask questions, and one day, you'll
be the one answering questions in this forum...
take care--Hawke'
