1. EUINC not as advertised ?
Rob,
Unless I am making a mistake in my testing (or I've misunderstood), the
environment variable EUINC is not behaving according to the documentation.
Here's the program I am running: (I have removed some blank lines.)
g:\eebob3>type g:\xyz.ex
include print.e
print( 1, command_line() ) puts(1, '\n')
include xxx.e
g:\eebob3>
If I set the variables as follows,
g:\eebob3>SET EUDIR=G:\EUPHORIA
g:\eebob3>SET EUINC=C:\;J:\
g:\eebob3>dir g:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\xxx.e
Volume in drive G is unlabeled Serial number is 3BA5:F01D
File not found "G:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\xxx.e"
0 bytes in 0 files and 0 dirs
3,297,529,856 bytes free
g:\eebob3>dir j:\XXX.E
Volume in drive J is COMPRESSED2 Serial number is 17E9:1115
Directory of J:\XXX.E

or in C:\;J:\
or in euphoria\include

If, however, I
g:\eebob3>SET EUINC=C:\;J:\;h:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\ --(this is my 2.2
installation.)
g:\eebob3>type h:\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\XXX.E
sequence x
puts(1, "This is XXX.E\n")
g:\eebob3>ex g:\xyz
{"G:\\EUPHORIA\\BIN\\EX.EXE","g:\\xyz"}
This is XXX.E
Warning: local variable x in xxx.e is not used
g:\eebob3>
It seems that the interpreter is requiring the include path to be in some
installation, under \EUPHORIA\INCLUDE\. Is this what you intended? It
seems rather restrictive to me. Anyone else notice this?
BTW, I've tried this under command.com, 4DOS, WIN98 and DOS 6.20 on a
different machine.
Sincerely,
Bob Elia

Try it without the trailing backslashes:
SET EUINC=C:;J:
Euphoria inserts a '\' between your directory name
and the include file name before trying to open the file.
I think you're creating two backslashes.

Hi Bob, Hi Rob 
The correct syntax for EUINC variable is:
rem -- file AUTOEXEC.BAT
SET EUINC=D:\EUPHORIA.RDS\INCLUDES;F:\EUAUX\INCL
rem -- file AUTOEXEC.BAT
So, I have two additional directories for include files.
On disk D:, euphoria.rds\includes directory.
On disk F:, euaux\incl directory.
Both work Ok for me.
In refman.doc 2.3, there is misprint.
Instead
It can be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, e.g.
EUINC=C:\EU\MYFILES;C:\EU\WIN32LIB
must be
It can be added to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, e.g.
SET EUINC=C:\EU\MYFILES;C:\EU\WIN32LIB
And SET command doesn't work from the prompt
to command line *to write variables* for me,
works from autoexec.bat only -- to *write*.
But SET works Ok from command line *to read*
all set of that sets, which are done by
autoexec.bat.
Hope this is some help.

When you kill that window, or move to another DOS window,
the variable won't be set. To set a variable in *all* DOS windows, it must be
done in AUTOEXEC.BAT.

Thanks Rob, I had the gap with and about that SET.
I never used DOS Window in such the strange mode,
but it works exactly as you say, for me too
Thanks again.
