Hi again,dear Euphoria programmers.
First of all, I'd like to thank you ALL for the nice welcome to your list.
It's realy nice. Thank you very much for it.

Ok,lets move on. About couple weeks ago, I planned to release a little
electronic magazine (but realy little) about misc subjects. The planned size
of the magazine (on TP compiled and without the musics) was about 300Kb. I
also planned to insert into it some nice BIOS scrollings for a smooth scrool
of the text.
Now,when I met Euphoria and you,I think to give it a try, and make the
magazine on Euphoria language.
Now I have lots of dilemas. Like how to make the magazine's editor - generic
or manually. I mean - for generic, I'll make a script or something,with all
the information about the menus,the text file to insert, the colors and etc.
and then to "compile" it to one executable file. The manual version is a .ex
program, that will include the menus, the text file calling and etc. In the
generic version, all I've to do, is to edit the textfiles (the articles),
edit the "script" and compile the script somehow. With the manual version, I
almost have to rewrite the .ex file for making the magazine.
Which one you advice me to make? How to make it? (some tips,and if you have
some free time, and if you want, send me an e-mail of yours, so I could send
you some questions personally...I'll realy appreciate it.)
Is it better to make the DataBase of the magazine,the way it works and all
the routines - on Euphoria , or it's better on Pascal? (I don't know
Euphoria's limits,the way it's working and etc. Sorry :)
Another question is, are there any libraries of routines for Euphoria like
SWAG for turbo pascal?
What do you it's better (be realy objective :) - to print the manuals on a
InkJET printer or buy the mannuals from the programmers (I live overseas and
it will cost me $10 for shipping). Also count the quality of the printings
and etc.
Ok,ok, I promise, a last question :)
What are the differences between the free and the registered versions? Do
you advice me to buy it (I'm a newbie and don't realy sure I'll stay on the
lang)
Ok. I think that's all for now. :)
P.S. The game someone posted me (ozbetasomething) is realy cute,but it's
controls was are horroble (sorry for saying that). Why can't make the game
simplier and control it with the arrows and the enter for fire or something.
Anyway, the CTRL and ALT and SHIFTS controls are realy not compotable.

Thank you very very much for your time.
Bye bye!
