2. Re: put_screen_char() doesn't work with EX under Windows
Hi Martin,
I think this is a bug in IMAGE.E file.
On line 336 it currently reads
if overflow then
but i think it should read
if overflow > 0 then
If you take a copy of IMAGE.E and change this line as I mentioned, it seems
to work okay. However, by doing that, the number of lines in image.e
contributes to the 300-lines trial version limit. If you have the full
version of Euphoria that won't matter at all.

First thing, EX.EXE will not work with MS-Windows it's sole purpose is DOS
try instead EXW.EXE designed for Windows programs.
You'll need a non-dos procedure to write to a Window in Windows
Win32lib uses its own special routines for this.
Read the documentation that comes with win32lib or if your
ready for API, look into Jacques Dechenes WinAPI routines.

Why doesn't RDS repair all this small bugs immediately (Eu 2.2.1, 2.2.2,
etc.) ?
The currnet version is >1 year old.

WIN9x contains DOS and *.ex programs runs faster with ex than exw
Exw doesn't support put_screen_char()

Yes, I've rewritten the program to use Exotica, it looks much better than
in DOS box :)

It can be done, and may eventually be done, but the priority is low.
DOS, Linux and Windows have very different API's for handling
a text-mode mouse. It's not just a matter of porting existing code.
Anyway, 99% of Windows Euphoria programmers want to use
a mouse as part of a Graphical User Interface like Win32Lib provides,
not a 25x80 text-mode console window.

Actually, about the only reason i'd use a windoze window is because i can't
use the mouse in a dos box. The programs i am currently writing need
minimal interaction from me, but it would be nice to be able to copy/paste
the current status to/from the dos boxes. I have 8 of them running right now.
