Please refer to my last several posts regarding the archives and win32lib. This has turned into a nightmare of epic proportions.
After trying several versions of win32lib I picked the one with the fewest errors and went hunting. I changed the code to be what
I thought it should be. I finally got a win32lib that works using eu4.XX.
The most common problem was the person that wrote (edited, reworked) the code was using reserved words as variables; i.e. integer continue, routine, etc.
or things like using seq instead of sequence. Am I missing something here? Is there a different Euphoria I should be using?
I use the forum, wiki, and downloads for my information.
I am truly getting tired of chasing code of dubious value around the web: sourceforge, github, box and private sites. Why throw away
twenty years of code? Why not have a curated spot to keep this stuff?
I'm getting too old for this.
Happy New Year. I hope this gets better next year.
Regards,
jd

There a term for this problem: "upgrades".
And, 20 years ago, no one except me was begging people to upload their program as an entire stand-alone package. They'd upload the bare minimum that used the include files on their computer. Up to you to find all those included files, and as you can see, the correct versions.
I think at one point, win32lib was being changed on this forum every day, with no version changes, and then could be released minus some of those edits.
And then OE broke Eu in so many unforeseen ways.
And so did forced OS "upgrades". I got a notice this morning that my current OS is no longer "supported" by an application i run.
