1. Q: wine on Euphoria programs
Linux questions:
1. Does anyone know how to make a batch file (or whatever it's called)
that will run wine and bind a Euphoria program for Windows?
2. Also another batch file to run the binded Euphoria?
The reason for these questions is that every time I make the smallest change
in a program that is supposed to run on both Linux and Windows,
I gotta reboot to Windows to bind it and test it. Then of course it doesn't
work right so I gotta go back and forth again. Using wine would be a
better plan if I could get that happening and working properly.
I got wine almost working on Age of Empires. I don't remember how.
It seemed to work okay except that it lost the fonts. There were no fonts.
When I got out of wine, still no fonts. Had to reboot to get the fonts back.
Will wine run Windows Euphoria programs the same way that Windows runs
Windows Euphoria programs? Or will wine lose the fonts?
Or use different fonts? Or what?
2. Re: Q: wine on Euphoria programs
I don't think so. I've ran a couple different things under Wine before and it
seems that Wine makes everything into one font. Wine is still in development
and it's still not running everything perfectly. I highly doubt Wine would do
the same stuff as Windows would.

Some alternatives for you to think about:
If you are running Linux as the host OS, you can use QEMU to run
Windows under Linux. That way, you don't have to reboot - Linux
and Windows are running at the same time. QEMU is an emulator.
If you are running Windows as the host OS, you can use VMWARE
or QEMU to run Linux under Windows. Another alternative is to
run CoLinux, which is a version of Linux that runs under Windows.
The great thing about all of these is that you don't have to
reboot. Just switch to a different Window.
