The lagest collection of the Euphoria libs is the RDS Archive.

Are those johnny & alfred thinking that their text.e have
the same name and this same name will confuse most of EU
users ANYWAY ?

You want to program without knowing the language, it seems to me.

Try please the below thing instead:

unkmarlib.e
scoobylib.e
jamilib.e
dereklib.e
wingzerolib.e

And you'll never have a problem, this solution is without endless 
/////////  at all, 
and it works just now, do you see ????

I think those johnny & alfred  will rename their libbies just now,
to avoid The Giant Crash of Euphoria becouse of that terrible Rob's bug.

Hey, johnny & alfred, am I right?
