Llama is a library I'm working on. It's the possible successor to my
Win32Lib library.
Win32Lib is a library that allows you to write Windows applications in
Euphoria. It tries to shield you from the complexities of Win32 coding,
which can be a real hassle.
Dos32Lib is a subset of Win32Lib, which allows Win32Lib programs to run
without modification under Dos. Unfortuneately, it only implements a portion
of the controls - window, menus, pushbuttons, radio buttons, check boxes and
scrollbars. This is still enough to be useful, and a number of small games
I've written for Win32Lib run under Dos32Lib (like 'Mines').
Code written in Win32Lib also runs, with only minor modifications, in Llama.
However, Llama is a work in progress, and does not have as many features as
Win32Lib does - yet. Although exernally Win32Lib and Llama are similar, they
are vastly different in implemenatation - Llama is based on an
object-oriented library, while Win32Lib is much more traditional.
Both are available at the RDS site.
