The website that used to have Irv's EuGTK is now blank.
Fortunately I have both the wrapper for gtk1 and the wrapper for gtk2
backed up on both hard drive and CD.
What's the future of EuGTK? Is someone going to take over that project?
Irv and Derek quit in response to RDS's refusal to sufficiently improve
Euphoria. Like for example the "include" problem. Would fixing the
"include" problem really complicate Euphoria so much that RDS would
rather lose great programming gurus that Euphoria's survival depends on?
Consider, what would happen to Euphoria without Win32Lib, EuGTK, and other
libraries? Euphoria would be only a DOS language. In 2004.

Exactly, And euphoria is lacking alot of other things, that most other
languages comes standard. (Productive std libs, productive dev tools,
packaging tools, good IDEs, so on..). wxEuphoria sounds really
promising for a cross platform GUI lib. and has wxEDS, wxIDE,
sounds good to me. Im looking more into it.

EuGTK can still be retrieved from SourceForge.
https://sourceforge.net/projects/eugtk/
I've heard word that Irv will maintain the library on SF at least
through GTK 2.5. I have a vested interest in seeing the library
maintained, and will do my best to support it in Irv's presence or
absence. Right now, I'm trying to get a handful of apps converted from
win32lib to gtk so I'm comfortable with the syntax and inner workings.
If someone would like to write a wrapper for seamlessly running win32lib
programs in gtk with only a single include, I think it would be a
valuable contribution.
