Hi All, I would like to share the type of private E-mail I receive, Everett L.(Rett) Williams wrote: I don't believe that you have either the experience or the= knowledge to sound so paternal. REXX has even more power than Euphoria,= and does most of the same things in many of the same ways. It has= much more powerful input and output capabilities. It is fully dynamic,= and suffers from some of the pitfalls and problems with any fully= dynamic language. It is easy to create constructs that have performance problems and it is easy to miss the implications of a fully= dynamic language with inlining of variables and recursive interpretation.= Anybody that has used OS2 has been exposed to the power and the problems of REXX. It has been ported to multiple platforms, but= the support is spotty. By the way, REXX has been around for almost 20= years. This is only one example. It is certainly appropriate for= you to have an opinion, but you haven't even been around Euphoria= long enough to be aware of the duration of some of these wish lists. Frustration is high and it has caused many highly capable programmers to move on, leaving only those of us stubborn enough= to think that eventually Rob will respond. Namespaces, structures,= and modularity have been issues for many years on the list.I know= that you have a business, but so do I and so do many others on this list. I have also worked for and with businesses from mom and pop= up to multi-billion dollar enterprises. Myself and several others= have been in this field for over thirty years and are still full time= in the business. So can the "president at xyz.com" attitude and provide= your reasoning and skip the lectures. We are not your employees= and your wisdom is and will remain suspect until you actually provide= some technical analysis in place of your "advice".

One last suggestion for this evening. I have found a very nice freeware editor that works wonderfully with Euphoria. It is called ConTEXT and may be found at http://www.fixedsys.com/context It offers syntax highlighting -- did not have a Euphoria syntax highlighted but I made one using as a prototype another highlighter (will be happy to send it to anyone interested). The really wondeful thing about it is that hitting Ctrl-F12 executes a Shell-Execute, i.e. saves and runs the Euphoria file you are editing with its associated application, i.e. exw.exe or ex.exe. So, editing a Euphoria file involves just typing away and then occasionally hitting Ctrl-F12! This happens in an instant! When I think of the cycle of complilation, linking, executing, I shudder!

>Hi All, > >I would like to share the type of private E-mail I receive, <snip> Hello again Christopher, I say "again" as I also just sent you a private email. However it will be the last and for this simple reason. If I send someone a private email I do not expect it to then be posted to a public email list server which gets archived on a web site for all to see and search through. For the president of a company this is not setting a good example of yourself or of the standards we should expect from your company. If you can't respect someones privacy then fine - but equally don't expect me to trust you or your company either. Thankyou and good night! A disgruntled FP.

Hi FP, I have receive hundreds of emails a day, and 10 percent of them= are from EU members. Some are good, and some are bad, but I never= post them. Believe me when I tell you have have received some funny e-mails. In this case I was making a point. We are all discussing= an issue in a forum, why then should a member take it upon his/her= self to e-mail me privately and bash my opinions? Why not share their= views with the rest of the members as I do? If you feel FP, you should not e-mail me privately then don't. You and I will both= not lose sleep on this. :) Too Funny

Prez, Everett doesn't reply to the list because he was sufficiently disgruntled as to offer Rob a deal: he would LEAVE the list, in return for a copy of non-PD Euphoria, and NEVER post his comments and dissatisfaction here again. He has honored his agreement COMPLETELY, that's why he occasionally writes to list members PRIVATELY.
