umm...doing that would make the package A LOT bigger

I didn't have much problem upgrading from 98, just had to grab a
couple of hardware drivers off the net. Although, I do have some
problems with some of the Euphoria programs. Some of the windows
programs like EuCom's comtest.exw program tells me it referenced memory
at 00000000 the memory could not be written. And David Cuny's TextGui
Editor gives me a Causeway Error when I try to click a mouse button.
I use Windows 2000 Professional at work and find it is more stable
than 98. I don't have all those (Blue Screens of Death) also, I can
change Environment Variables, and most Network Configurations, without
having to reboot.
For now, I just do most of my Euphoria programming on a machine at my
house that's using Windows 98.
Later.

I'd like to know too, I've been using Eu with Win2K and XP beta 2
without problems...

Did you try the latest version? I fixed several bugs that 98 doesn't seem
to catch but that 2000 does (mainly it was an incorrect structure--as
usual). If the new code still crashes, can anyone isolate where the crash
comes from in the EuCOM code? A good way is to translate/compile with the
registered version with trace turned on. I'd be willing to compile the code
for anyone if you don't have the registered translator.
It's also important (for reasons I can't figure out) to use the version of
tk_mem.e that ships with EuCOM. Freeing memset owners immediately after the
rest of the memset is freed results in crashes. The only change I made was
to delay freeing them imediately. It waits until there are 10 or 11 of them
[owners] waiting to be freed, so the impact is less than 50 bytes (assuming
the owners were just placeholders for memsets), but it allows everything to
function.
You can get the latest version on the Euphoria Contributions Page or my own
page:

The version I have I got from RDS just 1 or 2 days ago, seems it was
after seeing a message on here about those fixes. Also I am running the
Regestered Version.

7. RE: Wishlist for next version
I think the ee editor should be included with the next release, as well as
the compiled html help file (woops, that would have to be updated as well,
bummer). Win32lib is a big download, and including that would almost double
the size of the zip file, it is constantly being updated, and version 1.0 is
yet to arrive so I don't think including it would be such a good idea.
I would like to see a good, stable euphoria editor for windows that has all
the functionality of the dos ee editor (syntax colouring etc). Maybe it's
out there and I just haven't found it. As for linux, I have to go back to
the ed editor and try to remember how to use it

Agreed. EE would feel familiar to users of 'other' programming languages.

I use MEdit by Mike Carroll - it has color syntax, routine list, and run key.
After trying every editor I could find, MEdit has proved to be the most useful
for me.
EE for Linux works fairly well, but I just use kwrite, since 100% of my
Linux programming is for xWindow.
