Some time ago I ran into a site called www.tutorialspoint.com. I opened a dialogue with the webmaster about Euphoria & he became very interested. Unfortunately he ran into some problems installing it. He asked me to ask the forum for help while he continued reviewing the material. I'm posting some excerpts from his email with his permission. These are some of his concerns:
(a) By naming convention, Linux document should not have .doc extension they always should have .txt extension otherwise it creates unnecessary confusion.
(b) Documentation talks about ex binary which is not available on Linux or Free BSD and there is another binary available with the same name which is a visual editor.
(c) I tried running exu binary and tried to check its help or version using h and v options which is very common standard among all the Unix programs but this rule has been broken by the binaries shipped with this installation.
He's continuing work on the tutorial, but he says he can't understand why Euphoria couldn't make its place in the industry. Hopefully we can help him.

That would version 3 of Euphoria. We are about to release version 4 (currently in beta testing) which addresses these issues.

Documentation will be distributed in HTML at least and possibly other formats as well.
(b) Documentation talks about ex binary which is not available on Linux or Free BSD and there is another binary available with the same name which is a visual editor.
The version 4 binary is eui on all supported platforms.
(c) I tried running exu binary and tried to check its help or version using h and v options which is very common standard among all the Unix programs but this rule has been broken by the binaries shipped with this installation.
The switches -h and -v are used in version 4 to give this information.

Yes, me too.
