I want to see Zargaloids and XP3 developed fully.
In fact, for XP3, I think it should have multi-player capability. That
would be a fun shoot 'em up. Of course, modem link-up is a requirement.
Anybody here have access to a server from which we could run a
EUPHORIA-GAMES link service, where everybody dials in with their favorite
game ready to play somebody else.
If I've made any kind of mistake in identifying any programs herein, I
apologize in advance.
LateR!

Who cares what you want to see?

Whatever!
Just kiddin'!
Anyway, everytime I try to edit an .ex file from Windows 95 (I'm trying to
use TextGUI Editor, or ee.ex to be specific), it fails to load the program.
This is really weird and frustrating. Anybody else having the same problem?
Thanks!

P.S. I've assigned the "edit" menu on my Win95 quick menu to run ee.ex to
edit an .ex file.

ee.ex expects to be in the current directory and wants to load its includes
and fonts.
If you bind it, it will at least load, but without the nice new dos-font.
You could edit the code, that's what I did with a previous version, to
detect its directory. (and go to there, after everything is loaded, go back
to the old directory)
Here's a bit of pseudo-code
-- Check command_line () Does it contain any directory ? (only the 2nd
argument)
-- If not then the right directory is the current one, (or else the
program could not have been loaded)
-- Always save the current directory into a sequence
-- Include everything you want, load your font
-- Restore back to the old directory
this could be expended by:
-- when you supply a filename at the command_line (3rd argument or 4th
or 5th, etc)
-- Try the given path, if no path is given try the current, if that
doesn't work either try the program (ee.ex)'s directory, and at last, try
all directories in environ("PATH")
Maybe a very nice suggestion, David Cuny ?
I wish I still had the code, but it was overwritten by a new version of your
textGUI. (and editor)
