Hello all ! I asked twice to the list questions about Euphoria programming and I never receive any answers ( I'm surprised about this attitude quite opposite to the purpose of a Mailing List. I like to learn things I don't know and because of my job , I must always learn new programming environnments and languages. I would be glad if some of you all takes a few minutes to break this silence and explain me what Euphoria is ? In france we use to say : Knowledge is usefull only if you transmit it Thanks for your answers *************************************************** La reussite ne prejuge pas du merite *** Kenavo ! ************************************

I am unfamiliar with the nature of your question. Euphoria is a DOS level programming language. RDS is presently working on a Windows version of Euphoria. Euphoria has capability of graphics in modes such as 1024x768 Euphoria can load bitmaps. It can easily manipulate sequences of values. It can do math on several values at the same time. such as: print (1, {1, 2, 3, 4} * 2) RESULT: {2, 4, 6, 8} Euphoria primer base is atoms and sequences OR numbers and sequences of numbers. EXAMPLE 45 --45 is a number {45, 23, 12} --this is a sequence of numbers {1.3, 3.445, 42}-- so is this {{1, 2}, 4, {{2, 4}, {3, 4}}--this is a sequence also As you can see sequences can contain sequences, can contain sequences. Eventually you will reach numbers. their are a few more percise derivatives of these to objects, Such as: object. an object can be either sequence or atom. and then there is integer. an integer is a whole number. In Euphoria like any other language there are loops. for loops !. while loops ! also there are if statements. and for multiple if statements there is if something then --do something here elsif somethingelse then --do somethingelse here else --do another thing here end if Many aspects of Euphoria are like C. But in Euphoria you don't have to worry about those semicolons. Many aspects of Euphoria are like BASIC. But you don't have to worry about memmory walls or SLOW Speed. Euphoria is upto 20 times faster than BASIC. Euphoria is easy!!! Euphoria is fast!!! Euphoria is powerful!!! Euphoria only lacks being a Windows programming language. But that shouldn't be for much longer. Euphoria is what beginners should learn. NOT Basic. THIS is Easier and Faster. Euphoria runs in the same speed range as C. I sincerely hope that there is enough information here to answer what ever your Question was pointing directly towards. I don't know what and EDI is or EID or whatever that term means. I know that you can BIND euphoria programs into one executable file. Say you create myprog.ex and you want myprog.exe you would run "bind myprog" this would create myprog.exe it would contain all of ex.exe + a coded form of myprog.ex RESULT ex.exe+myprog.ex = myprog.exe I didn't mean to ignore you. I simply do not understand your question. --Lucius Lamar Hilley III -- E-mail at luciuslhilleyiii at juno.com -- I support transferring of files less than 64K. -- I can Decode both UU and Base64 format.

> I asked twice to the list questions about Euphoria programming and I never > receive any answers ( With all due respect, I and a few others have given you a history of Euphoria. We are not, as you implied, imposing a campaign of silence. We help anyone who asks a question in here. The very spirit of a listserv I must add David Gay http://www.interlog.com/~moggie/Euphoria "A Beginner's Guide To Euphoria"

I'm not sure how you got notice of this mailing list, but if it wasn't from the Official Euphoria Page you should check it out at If that's not to your liking you can either E-MAIL Robert Craig himself or read through Hilley's entire letter. The reason not many people respond to your questions is that this is a pretty basic and vague question (whatever that means) and are not going to answer it. Most questions asked here deal with the actual programming bit. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The Reaper (J.
