Actually I have 2 comments, and both are so obvious that I guess that they've been metioned before by someone else
1-Almost all of the text files in Euphoria 4 beta2 are not shown correctly with Windows Notepad (win XP), typical case when you try to read a linux text file in Windows (bytes 10/13 stuff), but since this is the Windows-Dos version I would expect to see text files formatted correctly, and with text files I mean all source code (.ex, .e, .c, .h), and not only .txt files in all folders
2-in the docs folder there should be a doc.ex program, but I didn't find it
3-ok, 3 comments, not 2, I've been euphoring since about 4 years, I started with EUPH-2.4 And I want to continue using EUPH as the only existig programming language in the universe, My first intention is to continue using EUPH-3.11, but I'll give a try to EUPH-4, all the new features seem to be really cool, there's just 2 things I'm a little concerned about, unicode and locales, I do mainly DOS (and just a little Windows and Linux) programming, just like many many other EUPH users, and unicode and locales are completely useless in DOS, I guess they are not only important but necessary for Windows and Linux, but for DOS ??? So I just want to make sure that I understand correctly and Unicode and Locales are non-DOS features.
More comments and feedback very soon...

What do you expect that doc.ex would do?

You are correct. I don't think any of this will be supported under DOS because there isn't any easy way to do it, aside from, I suppose, getting fancy with code pages, or something similar.

What do you expect that doc.ex would do?
I would expect that he means the generation of the docs, as they are currently not generated in the 4.0a2 release.

eudoc (the doc gen tool) is still in a state of flux and has not been added to the main distribution yet. Before 4.0 final, eudoc will be added. Further, eudoc will be developed as a seperate product so that it can change/bug fix, etc... independent of Euphoria.

any comments about this???

Actually it is doc.exw and I said it should be in the docs folder, because in the readme.doc file it says:
"To rebuild all .doc and .htm files from the .htx files, type: docall"
but when I check the code of docall.bat it calls the program doc.exw, but it is not included.
And the file also says:
"Junko Miura's documentation generator (contained in this directory)..."
but it is not included.
So what I mean is, if in the docomentation says that a file is included, it should be included. So either the information of the docs folder should be changed or the file should be included. Or at least explain that the file will not be included yet
