1. A terrible earth stopping bug - fix immediately!

Hi
When just clicking on ex/exw/exwc .exe, the program reports itself as 4.0a2
Obviously this state of affairs cannot be allowed to continue. Find the culprit responsible and remove them immediately from the developer team!

I missed the joke or don't understand or something. Is this a real problem report?

Bizarrely, the version of 4.0a3 that I downloaded reports itself as (Development) - SVN Revision 1442!
Hmm, that can't be right, I must have messed up the binaries somehow.

I think maybe your path is off? I just downloaded euphoria_40a3.exe from SF.net and installed into a brand new directory (C:\testforchris) and then did:
C:\ > cd \testforchris\bin C:\testforchrist\bin > .\exwc.exe Euphoria Interpreter 4.0a3 for 32-bit Windows. Using Managed Memory Copyright (c) Rapid Deployment Software 2008 See http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/License.txt file name to execute?

I cannot test the DOS interpreter as I am on Vista and Vista no longer supports DOS programs that require full screen, however, I am sure it will be the same.
Can someone else verify this?

Unless you tell the installer to update the environment (this option is OFF during the Alpha and Beta stages), then it does not update the path/EUDIR variables for you. It will create, however, a setenv.bat file to set the environment per command shell to use the Alpha.
That is the only thing I can think of that might be happening.

How are you building the DOS interpreter then? :P
set EUVISTA=1 .\ex.exe

don't know. All I do, when doing a fresh build, is:
C:\Develop\Euphoria\source > rm -rf build
C:\Develop\Euphoria\source > .\configure.bat -build build
C:\Develop\Euphoria\source > wmake -f makefile.bat
C:\Develop\Euphoria\source > dir build\*.exe

Ok, doing the EUVISTA trick:
C:\testforchris\bin > SET EUVISTA=1 C:\testforchris\bin > ex.exe Euphoria Interpreter 4.0a3 for 32-bit DOS. Using Managed Memory Copyright (c) Rapid Deployment Software 2008 See http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/License.txt file name to execute?
So ex.exe is correct as well.

Ok, this is one of those incredibly embarrassing stoopid user moments. I swap 4.0a2 and 4.0a3 bin folders back and forth, and forgot that I had done this, then went on to do some other stuff, then ran exw, and just got a2. Now I've reset everything, and it is as it should be (reporting a3)
Can someone please delete this thread - forever!
