1. How about Gnuporhia - was PEU CVS

Not complaining... just suggesting  :) :) :)

not sure what the LGPL is... but if you consider the
GNU PL how about seeing if David Cuny will let you use
Gnuphoria :) :) :) :)

Gnuporhia ?

I hope it's not the drug-resistant strain :)

Try "Gnuphoria".  And yes, it *does* sound like an STD.   smile

No offense, but IMNSHO that's *terrible*. How can it be "Enhance Uphoria"=
 if=20
there's no "Uphoria"? At least "Pete's Euphoria" had some sort of meaning=
=2E

Out of deference to Robert, it would be best to drop the word "Euphoria" =
from=20
the name (or derived name) so that there's no confusion.

I can't tell what licence Pete intended to put it under. It *looks* like =
it's=20
under the Public Domain. In sticking with that spirit, you probably shoul=
d go=20
with the BSD license.

5. Re: How about Gnuporhia - was PEU CVS

Before Pete wrote Peu, I decided to take a crack at it. My program was ca=
lled=20
"Gnuphoria", on account that it would be released under GPL.

There were a lot of problems with Gnuphoria. Since sequences can move aro=
und=20
in memory, I used this arcane scheme of blocks which held the addresses. =
The=20
upper byte of the handle referred to the block the byte was stored in, an=
d=20
the lower byte was the index into the block.

Of course, all I really needed to do was allocate space in memory for a=20
structure that held the address of the sequence; something like:

   struct Seq {
      void *address; /* points to the structure */
      ...
   }

It just got worse from there. I got some basic stuff working - sequences,=
=20
simple control structures - but Pete's code far outstripped mine.

That was fine with me, since I was really hating C coding anyway. So I dr=
opped=20
my project. I can't recally why Pete eventually dropped Peu, though...

Finally! At last I know! :)

Pete dropped his because the coding became too complex (he told me this
himself).
While Pete's code may be useful, a total rewrite will probably be done sometime
soon, for obvious reasons.

Lol. Seriously, what is it? (Derek Parnell told me it may have been eu.ex, the
Euphoria interpreter in Euphoria, is that correct?)

Actually, it was Portable EUphoria before. But good point.

Hmm ... you may be right. This is a topic of debate within the PEU team atm.
(Maybe I'll just drop everything else and call it Uphoria ... joking.)

Its currently under the Llama License (which is BSD-derivade, actually, but
slightly more GPL-like), also considering LGPL and GPL. Again, a topic of
debate.
