1. FreeBSD
Rob,
Congratulations and thanks for your port of Euphoria
to FreeBSD.
Will FreeBSD be simply added to the current bundle
price? Or will it be offered separately for a specific
fee?
I would also be interested in any comments you might
make comparing and contrasting FreeBSD to Linux.
Thanks,
Ken Rhodes

I'm going to add it to the bundle, keeping the same price.
I'll add the Public Domain interpreter for FreeBSD
to the download page, along with a PD Translator.
I'll also update the Interpreter source to include FreeBSD.
This should all happen within a few weeks. People who
have already registered for 2.3 will be able to add
FreeBSD support, for whatever they bought, for free.

I'm not really a heavy user of either system.
All UNIX-based systems look pretty much the same,
unless you do something very specialized.
I mainly use GNU C, which both fully support,
plus the everyday UNIX-like commands, ls, cp, mv, etc.
Both have the regular shell, sh, as well as csh, and probably others.
I can't evaluate any GUI stuff on FreeBSD because I'm accessing
it via telnet. At least the full-screen text-mode stuff works, even
via telnet - ed, interpreter trace screen, etc.
