1. Dos32Lib,Win32Lib
To all ,
There's been mention made of a Dos32Lib.e or DosLib32.e and Win32Lib.e
or WinLib32.e . If these type of files exist , what do they do and
at what site address[es] can they be found ?
Are these part of the standard include files that come with a particular
version of Euphoria ?
To D.Cuny ,
After installing , as TSR software , a more recent version of the vesa
standard ; v1.2 , I found that your mwin.e file was compatible with the
higher resolutions . I now can use 1024x768 , 256 colour selection when
the use_vesa(1) option is invoked , the mouse ; using mighty.e
works reasonably well at this setting also.
However , there's a bit of disk activity , for some undetermined reason,
when in the highest setting and running DEMO1.ex , with the menu restored
to full screen. This might result from my system configuration , or the
type of vesa driver I'm using ; which probably is a bit dated by now.
I'm also able to run a 256 colour CAD package now , that was previously
having the same problems with the mouse as your software.
Does anyone know a web [ftp] site where I might find more recent
versions, preferably as freeware.
To Pete Eblein ,
Awhile ago I managed to visit your site , where I found some rendered
and shaded images of a spiral. What file have you put the software for
this in , I may have this already on a floppy disk , after an earlier ;
visit I made from a cybercafe. I'm also wondering how generally applicable
this is to 3d images as the spirals are all lying in a plane.
How useful might this be for constructing a shaded graph , might the
painters algorithm work better in that instance ?
There's a possibility now , with the different vesa version that I'm
using , of using more than 256 colours ; in a moderate resolution .
Do you have any experience with this , neil.e might allow one to
investigate this .
I'm becoming more familiar with the use of asm.e , after writing some
software around this I can now use ed.ex , in split screen mode , to
write assembly code straight to one window , go to the other and ;
test the code. Then edit/run again , if necessary ; without ever leaving
ed.* . What piece of hardware are the mmx instructions intended for ,
are these further instructions for the x87 , FPU ?
As for mixed.e , this is between euphoria, c [standard/32] , asm32 .
If you were to have C++ [32-bit] routines in mixed.e , what might these
be ; I'm still revising C [ 16-bit , ansii ]. Might these include
unlimited precision in math calculations, most of the accumulator
instructions extended to arbitrarily long strings of any type ?
P.S.
Hope I spelt your surname correctly.
To the author of Matheval ,
You may of encountered a file I posted somewhile ago called parr1.txt,
detailing one approach to constructing a parser.
This has a fair few advantages over other ways of evaluating equations
or expressions. One of the disadvantages is the necessity of making at
least two disk accesses , the parser of d.cuny circumvents this ; however
as you discovered in one implementation of eval.e ; there were
difficulties. Are you looking towards an alternative or merging of these
two approaches , this is something I was considering for awhile and
mentioned to d.cuny. He was reticent about that approach. This doesn't
mean that there's no other way of constructing a workable parser with
at least some of the attributes desired , i.e minimal use of the disk,
ease of configuration ; rapidity of evaluation.

These are libraries for writing GUI application. Win32Lib allows development
of Windows applications. Dos32Lib is an old library, an abandoned version of
Win32Lib for DOS. It's fairly old, so the function calls differ from the
current version of Win32Lib. It's also less complete, since it has to
emulate the elements.
These files can be found on the Euphoria home page, as well as on my site,
at:

> After installing , as TSR software...
I haven't a clue; I just make plain old calls to the Euphoria library.
Hope this helps!

MMX (MultiMedia eXtensions, or something like that..) are a bunch of
instructions available for Intel's generation 6 processors (PPro & P2) and
later that lets you process multiple integers at the same time.
I'm not sure, but I think that the P3 has similar instructions for floating
point numbers (SIMD).

Sounds like I need to go to the library and get a back issue , or
two , of BYTE magazine .
My impression was that in the pentium , the early versions at least,
they were using the FPU for integer arithmetic for the graphics card.
Some graphics cards have a dedicated unit on board for these type
of calculations . Of course the x87 fpu also supports floating point
instructions.
