What will become of Euphoria when Windows 64 hits the market, will RDS =
step up to the bat?
Years ago (1994, 95)=20
I registered Builder by Hyperkinetix
just before Windows 95 was to come out.
In the process of gathering knowledge of the language (which was=20
Assembler in .Lib files but, had similar appeal I think as Euphoria =
today has because it was truly easy.)
Hyperkinetix went out of business.
Leaveing registered user with a dead product.
I hope this doesnt happen to me again......

Some people on the list are still using dos, and chances are i will remove linux
from
my other puter and reinstall dos. On this puter, i run win95, and will not
install another
MS OS. The newer the OS, the bigger it is, and the buggier it is.

In Canada we prefer hockey to baseball, but yeah,
we'll be there. 
64-bit Intel and AMD CPU's are coming in a few years,
but I'm sure 32-bit Windows programs will be fully supported
for decades to come, and I predict DOS will be supported
as well, despite Microsoft's attempts to scare people
away from DOS.
When there's an advantage to building a 64-bit Euphoria,
we'll do it.
By the way, the Euphoria to C translator is now
working with Windows programs as well as DOS.
In addition to lots of large DOS programs (such as ee.ex),
I've now translated several large Win32Lib-based
programs to C, and compiled them, and they run fine.
Soon I'll port things over to Linux. I hope to release
something by the end of this month.
The shell.ex benchmark is now 4.5x faster when translated
to C and compiled. sieve.ex is only about 3.2x faster
because the call to repeat() takes the same time
whether interpreted or compiled.
