I wonder if Jiri still reads this list. I still remember when he piped in with
his version of a program that made it properly "snow" on your screen after
somebody submitted their version to the list about this time of year.
I just had to look it up: Sun, 19 Dec 1999:
http://www.listfilter.com/cgi-bin/esearch.exu?fromMonth=6&fromYear=1&toMonth=B&toYear=A&postedBy=Jiri+Babor&keywords=Snow
For those "newbies" unfamilar with Jiri, this guy could write some mighty cool
and clean code. It might be DOS code but it still works to this day AFAIK. I'm
still impressed by what he's contributed to the archives.
Cheers to Jiri Babor!

Very nice program!

The program 'xmas.ex' to which your link above points runs fine with
ex.exe 2.5, and also when translated and compiled with Watcom for DOS.
But when I compile with DJGPP 2.03, the color of the text is gray
instead of yellow. Is that a bug in the DJGPP compiler?

Me too.

Have you read a good program lately?

With DJGPP, Euphoria uses the Allegro graphics library.
With Watcom (for DOS), Euphoria uses the Watcom graphics library.
Euphoria's graphics modes are based on Watcom. When DJGPP is used,
Euphoria tries to pick an equivalent Allegro-supported mode,
but sometimes there are slight differences.

Rob, does Euphoria come with the latest "liballeg.a" file as of March 2005?
Could using the latest version make a difference?

It comes with one that I built from the source in 2004.
I managed to strip out some stuff that Euphoria doesn't use,
and thereby keep the size down.
> Could using the latest version make a difference?
I doubt it.
I don't think they've enhanced the DOS version much lately.
liballeg.a is fine. It's just a bit different than Watcom
in a few graphics modes.
