A ZZT to Eu translator, huh? Do you mean making an Euphoria program that you
can use to play ZZT games on? WITH sound? That is a good idea. I am not fluent
in Windows programming in Euphoria. DOS programming in Euphoria is easy, but it
takes a while. I guess I'll pull out my starting of it and try working on it
some. Btw, The only real problem with ZZT in a DOS console, or any DOS game for
that matter, is that there is no sound. It will be tricky getting the notes
right, but I think it can be done. If I do decide to make it, then should I also
include an Editor? Any more suggestions would be more than welcome. Also,
should I make a program that can play SuperZZT worlds as well as ZZT worlds?
SZZT does not work at all in Full-screen under Windows XP. I think I can fix
that with euphoria. Sorry for this being so long, but I guess I had a lot to
say. Bye for now, until I choose to write again.
PS: That was kind of what I was going for, but I never thought of the SZZT
thing until now. Also, it will take a long time before I will be able to upload
it, since I don't have the complete version of Euphoria. 
I want it, but I
don't have the money.
