1. wxEuphoria relocation

I've moved wxEuphoria from subversion to mercurial, still hosted on sourceforge. I'm not sure how many people were following the code. I've updated the SCM page on the wxEuphoria website. Details also below:
Using Mercurial with wxEuphoria
The wxEuphoria project uses Mercurial for source code control. You can take a look at the Sourceforge Mercurial documentation.
Here is the wxEuphoria Mercurial page.
There are three repositories associated with the wxEuphoria project:
- wxeu the main repository of wxEuphoria code
- ide code for wxIDE
- web the creole source code for these web pages
To access the repos, configure your mercurial client accordingly:
- Public Read-Only Access
- http://wxeuphoria.hg.sourceforge.net:8000/hgroot/wxeuphoria/REPONAME (read-only)
- wxEuphoria Developer Read-Write Access
- ssh://USERNAME@wxeuphoria.hg.sourceforge.net/hgroot/wxeuphoria/REPONAME (read/write)

Matt: I went into the the new repository, and gingerly went into "Bleeding Edge"
There I got cut by something called
libwxeu-17-2011-09-12.zip
The only way my computer will stop bleeding is when I apply the patch called
wxeu-full-win32-0-17-0.zip
preferably in conjunction with another uniquely coded soothing balm called
wxWidgets 2.9.2
Thanks for informing and keep up the good work.
May the patron Saint of computing bless you.
(Is there one?) I haven't found him in the last 25 years.
Perhaps I need a trip to Mercury to get the Widget No 17 and get to him and become Euphoric with my first Million!

LOL. I plan to move to 2.9 when it becomes the stable version. 2.8 is still the stable version, and is supported at least in Debian based package managers as such. Currently, I'm trying to get away from Watcom, as it cannot seem to build anything past 2.8.7. MinGW looks promising. I've managed to build wxWidgets, but need to update the wxEuphoria build system.

I've been looking forward to seeing wxWidgets built using MinGW (rather than Watcom) for some time.

Third'd. There's a lot I could do with the new features of 2.9. Can anyone say Ribbon interface?

Even if you said that in anger, frustration or sarcasm, I deserve it. It is just that I am very scared of C language and using the connection functions (they look very simple).
The first suggestion (Widget 2.9) - there my emphasis was really on wxEuphoria version 17 for windows.
The second small project mooted by Greg, looks very simple, but Greg would be the person to implement it.
In general, there is now so much memory available (Windows XP and Windows 7) that I am not worried about the size of the executables, which certainly are significantly smaller than Windows executables compiled under .net and MSVC.

Sarcasm or jokingly was more like it. Probably should have put in an emoticon.

Matt's a real jerk!
No, that's just the infamous MattLewis snarkitude. Or honesty. As in, "I ain't the only programmer in town!" etc. I often have to remind him that I'm a lowly Euphoria programmer, not a C nor C++ programmer, and that it is his baby and I'm just trying to help raise it. :)

And a question mark. I mean, it was a question.

Good point. Really called for an interrobang. FTFM

Anyway, Guys, I am not at all offended by a well deserved "reprimand" from Matt. This old brain can only learn so much now. I was already 45 when I was absorbing the intricacies of the new IBM PC with 16K memory and started keeping up with the 14 year old genius/nerds - I kept up right up to 6 years ago, except for this darn animal called C and its big brother C++.

OK, so they are very pretty, but easier to use my arse.

That was my initial reaction. Well, maybe not that extreme. 
I use Word on an almost daily basis, as a developer, not as a casual user. The ribbon interface has decreased my productivity, if affected it at all. (I actually have all versions of Word, from 97 up to 2010, because my clientele has all those and I have to support all of it). I don't think Word 2010 improved on anything from 2007, or 2003 before that, except it seems a bit faster.
