There is only one thing I don't really like about the new 2.5 release:
It is over 1.44 mb, so if you don't have an internet connection and
you are downloading from say a library you have to
use a zip disk or flash drive, something not everyone has.

Every old ( Nico Mak ) WinZip I've ever used can fill a dozen floppies, or more,
with just one zipped file, or hundreds.
It's amazing how many people don't know this because they never use the
'Classic' interface, to save a new archive to
'A:'...

As well, you don't need all the flashy bits that RDS's distribution
has to have a Euphoria development environment. All you need is the
bin and include directories - that's well under 1.44Mb when zipped.

Hi, Emlyn.
I've split the Euphoria 2.5 into two files that are less than 1.44 MB.
The first is almost all of 2.5 except the DOS executables and libraries.
The second is just the DOS executables -- if you unzip it to the same place
you will have the complete Euphoria 2.5 alpha.
