1. Euphoria on OSX

Alban,

Thank you for the work you have been doing. I was curious, is there any chance
that we will get our own platform definition? i.e. OSX or something instead of
LINUX ? Right now in libdbi, when checking for linux I am trying to load .so's
and .dylibs, not that it really matters, but it would make things a bit cleaner.

Thank you Jeremy for your encouraging words and useful feedback.

I agree that a new platform identifier will be useful to keep Euphoria portable.
I think that on OSX Euphoria may eventually need two platform identifiers.
PPC and Intel Euphoria programs are likely to be slightly different.
For example a carbon mouse event looks like 'soum' on Intel rather than 'mous' 
as it did on a PPC.

3. Re: Euphoria on OSX

Can I suggest using negative values to designate the MAC platforms?
That creates one end of the spectrum for mac and the other end for *nix, with
windows in the middle.

That would leave room for expansion and concurrency in both directions.
