Make the official version of the Windows interpreter a "version 4" executable or whatever it is that the "convert" utility does to it. That way everyone will get normal looking Windows when making GUIs without having to know of the existence of a special utility. (Although you still need it for translated programs with Watcom, I think.) I imagine some users may have dropped Eu after making their first Windows program when it had the Win 3.1 "look"...

Or at least include it as part of the 2.4 distro, and add a note about it in the documentation. > > > > TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.

Hi Andy, Note forgetting that most common controls appear wrongly. eg the ComboBoxEx that appears highlighted at the top.

I'm including a little Euphoria program in euphoria\bin that will make a 4.0 exw from a 3.1 exw, and another program that will make a console app version of exw. I can see only a *tiny* difference between the two GUI versions (testing on Judith's IDE). exw has always been a 32-bit program and has never run on Windows 3.1 Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com

It will be 4.0, but I'll include a little program that can create a 3.1 version, in case anyone encounters any glitches. From the Microsoft docs, it certainly looks possible that this could break someone's code, though hopefully it will be rare. Regards, Rob Craig Rapid Deployment Software http://www.RapidEuphoria.com

I hope to get credit for the fix I supplied to Robert months ago.... LCC an Bor automatically set ver 4.0 but Watcom has one simple line that can be added. Remember to put me in the documentation Robert ...
