1. Need Some Help Getting Started
This "rookie" EUPHORIA programmer needs a little help getting started.
1) Will anyone recommend a context sensitive text editor that runs in
the Windows command window?
2) What Windows library should I use? I noticed several in the EUPHORIA
web site. I need something which is stable and mostly bug free.
3) Some API wrappers and demo programs would be helpful.
Something about my environment, which may be helpful in answering the
above questions: Most of the machines on the local area network run
Win XP SP1, however two machines run Win NT SP 6a and two machines run
Win Me. All machines run peer-to-peer, there are no domain servers.
The intended EUPHORIA applications are command line utilities and filters.
Some of the utilties will need to access the Windows API.
We avoid 16-bit software like the plague!
Thanks in advance for your help.

I use ConText. You can Google on ConText which should point you to the
web site. However it doesn't run in the Windows command window. Not
sure what you're looking for...

Win32Lib is what I use. Derek just put out a new version which I believe
still has a few outstanding issues. Version 59.1 was VERY stable and I
expect the new version to reach the same level soon. Don't know about
other libraries. Also, the IDE by Judith Evans only works with Win32Lib.

Win32Lib has all that!

I highly recommend:
Windows Editor (32-bit) 328K Mike Carroll Apr 24/99
a 32-bit Windows editor for Euphoria pro
It's in the archives.
I know when I first started with Euphoria I couldn't figure anything out untill
I got that.

There are many, many editors available, but MEditor is the only
windows editor written purely in Euphoria. Plus it is open source.

If you hate it, fine, but let me know why.
