Well, I don't know if it is good news or bad, but I got something called
DOSLINUX running on my system tonight. It wouldn't run in an extended dos
partition, but it ran fine in my primary partition. Of course I had to
unload 450 mb Unreal.
It loads though. Now to get Xwindows, and find out if Euphoria will run
under Dos emulation in Linux. Its kind of cool, I didn't have to reformat
or anything. Just runs in a Dos Directory.
Couldn't figure out how to log off of the darned thing, so I hit
CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shut itself down...Cool.

2. linux
Hi all,
I have been trying for 2 weeks (on weekends) to get a running copy of
slackware running, because I don't want to have to buy another copy of linux
( I have an old slackware disk)...anyway...I downloaded Zip Slack wich is
designed specifically to fit in less than 100 megs of space, and has a bunch
of stuff in it for Iomega devices.
I have it running, but can't seem to get it to recognize exu as an
executable file, even though the executable bits on the file itself are set.
I looked for that ".bash_profile" file in my home directory, and do not find
it, although ".bash_history" is there.
I do know that there is a way of viewing your paths that are set in
Linux, is there also a way to set them?
I have tried to run the file a number of ways, including:
just typing exu
running it from midnight commander
typing the full path
/home/monty1/euphoria/bin/exu ed.ex
what do I have to do? This Linux is 4.0
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Linux differs from DOS in that the current directory is *not*
on the search path (unless you specifically set it up
that way), so to run an executable in the current directory
you might have to say:
./exu ed.ex
(or whatever). Eventually though, you need to get
euphoria/bin onto your PATH.

Been there, done that. My problem is that I don't have a full installation=
, and I'm sure that one of the shared files required to make exu run just =
happens not to be on my machine!

I'm going to upload a new "pre-alpha" release later today,
or tomorrow. It will be different in the following ways:
* ncurses 4.2 library statically linked into exu
* exu is compressed (only 97K including ncurses!)
* ed bug fixed - now you can edit files with
upper case letters in the name
* no delay on Esc key
* euphor21.tgz - proper ".tgz" extension
* correct listserv address in WEB.DOC/WEB.HTM
* a few other trivial things
Hopefully, this will allow exu to run correctly on
Linux distributions with old (or missing) versions of ncurses.
The only other shared libraries that exu uses are libc and libm,
the standard C library and the standard math library. They
should be pretty standard.
