1. Re: Euphoria To C -- I\\\'m Back!
Mike,
Things are good when you actually make some sense (and it's amazing that
you've managed w/o multiple vulgarities). You might find that it's possible
to make friends that way...
You may not like me but I really don't give a shit. I never said I hated
you, I just never liked the way you've conducted yourself in the past. You
*will* be respected if you can maintain civil discourse.
BTW, if you want to reply with a flame, don't bother (even though your
replies were worth a good chuckle). It's simply impossible for a person of
your maturity to get under my skin.

Have a nice day,

the Open Watcom project will be different than the Watcom you based the
translator on, plus, it will be made available (the source) in the first
quarter of 2001. So, one might ask, why won't you support DJGPP and
VC++/BC++? Because for one, the Windows SDK won't be released with the free
Watcom version, and for two, DJGPP is famous, free, fast, opensource and
easy to use for DOS32 programming. Anyone can download DJGPP, but no one can
even buy, let alone download, a full version of Watcom.

produces code for RISC, MIPS, x86, Dreamcast (using Windows CE Dreamcast
toolkit), and the future X-Box console wich run on Windows 2000.
