That would be nice, but I'll have to do a plain vanilla

I can add to it.

Hey cool... ever since David retired Gnuphoria, I've missed the
competitive coding spirit of porting Euphoria to other platforms. Glad to
hear I'll have some *real* competition sometime soon (no offense David 
I feel like a C programmer alone in a dark corner while the
other Euphorians scurry about in the green pastures of sequences and
run-time error checking.
> Is any support for X-Windows planned?
I've got a reference on XLib programming and am starting to work through
it. The way I see doing it would be to hardcode the X window calls
wrapped in C as builtin procedures, with a Dos32Lib interface. Now
wouldn't that be snazzy?

Progress is slow. I tried compiling an older version on mac and got some
neato compile errors. No big surprise there. I'll try out my newer

*Wow*, it would be really cool, even we could write generic apps using a
nice and standard GUI, and then have that program working on Linux, Win32,
Dos32 and who knows which platforms else ?
Pete, since you are still building an Euphoria interpreter from scratch,
could you try to keep it in such way you can easily make a DLL out of it as
well as a normal executable, that could run multiple Euphoria programs at
the same time, maybe together with a plugin wrapper DLL for IE and Netscape
?

I've been tempted multiple times to start up Gnuphoria again - especially
when Rob mentions anything about the internals of Euphoria.
In fact, I pulled it out a couple of days ago and looked through it. I was
getting impatient for your Mac port, and wondered if I should start up work
again. There are a lot of ideas that I had for the interpreter that were
left uncoded.
I'd claim that my workload on Win32Lib/Dos32Lib is what keeps me from
starting up Gnuphoria again, but it's something simpler than that: I can't
find a free Mac compiler that I can use on my 68K Mac. That, and the joy of
casting, and recasting C pointers.

I can relate.

And I just when I gave back the Reference Zero book (it documents the
low-level XLib calls)...
One of the biggest problems with XLib programming will probably be a lack of
documentation. Good books on X Windows coding are rare; good XLib books seem
to be virtually non-existant. Time to start scouring the 'Net.
On the other hand, it's clearly the most portable option - and the one that
creates the smallest executable.
Let me know when you have something to play with, and I'll get Linux
reinstalled on my computer again.

A possible Mac port! WooHoo!
I hope it'll run on a 68000 Mac for poor people like me with archaic
machines. Then I'll have to compete with my kids for use of the Mac.

11. Re: Linux
Hi everyone...
Thank you for all of the help.
There seems to be a big difference between different distributions of
Linux, as far as how the Path's are set up etc. Yes I am running BASH, and
I am getting problems similar to what Irv wrote.
I am thinking that this is one of those cases that the Slackware
website wrote about:
Supposedly the newest version of Slackware has libc6 instead of libc5, which
could cause it to be incompatible with older binaries. I thought that this
might not be the case, as I am running an older version of Xwindows on it
with no problems (other than an incomplete list of graphics cards).
I spent the whole 3 day weekend trying to get it running, and will try
using some of the exacting examples I just received, as I don't know enouph
about linux config files to do it just from a description (But thanks to
those people also) I am garnering a broader understanding of the system
from your help.
I will try one of the other distributions. I do have an older copy of
Debian around here somewhere.

PS Rob, my computer teacher from when I was in High School and I talked the

interested. He has been kind of turning up his nose at regular Eu for a
while, because he can't see the need to learn another Language just to
teach. But he seemed real excited about this. His last words were ("Death

There are really quite a few Linux converts out there and the numbers
are growing. ( Can't wait to get it running and PLAY!!!!)

He,he... did you know that some versons of Win 98 contact Redmond

Now, we all know that Microsoft doesn't release updates _that_ often.
So, what do you suppose Win 98 is _really_ sending to Mr. Gates?

Maybe that's why Linux interests some of us - it is still possible to
"play" with it, learn stuff ,build things, improve things, customize it to
work the way _we_ want it to work.

http://www.cheapbytes.com has all sorts of Linux CD's and
books. CD's for $1.99 up. Shipping to Europe is $8.00.
I have ordered from them, and their service is excellent.
I now use my RedHat CD as a coaster for refreshing
brewed beverages. I had a lot of trouble getting things
to work properly with RedHat, things that Slackware did
without any problem.
My impression is that RedHat tried to make everything work
with a GUI, so the Windows users wouldn't be frightened away.
Unfortunately, they failed in some major areas. For anyone
who is not afraid to type stuff and use an editor, the simpler
text-mode setup of Slackware is better. Many people say the
SuSE distribution is good, also.
I have a collection of links to Linux software and info,
which I will e-mail to anyone who requests it.

the difference between slackware and redhat is that slackware
splits in floppy-sized blocks, and named e1,a1,a2.. (a<..> for
applications, for example. redhat uses complete packages,
one per application, sources, even the kernel itself(*.rpm) .
It is fully modular and permits to easily install or uninstall any
binary.
The Mandrake distrib is based on RedHat and it is the easiest I
have seen to install. but I didn't have so much problems with
redhat.

No! it's not better, just simpler. it is a pre-configured redhat distrib
packaged with kde. The install is _very_ easy and fast, and you're
ready to work. for example, there's an icon for CD-rom and floppy
- very handy.
I would say it is good for those who don't want to bother with
configurations and installations, just begin to work as they would
with M$ win*.* . But for those who want to build their own "euphoric"
environment and do some programming I think standard redhat is
surer.
I didn't try the last mandrake, I heard that it is much more complete
than the previous one.
The debian is sayed to be the prefered one for developers... can't
say. did someone try that?
Most people around me use redhat... new monopoly?

Interesting. I'm now running RH5.0/Xwin w/ KDE and are having no problems.
Yes, I also believe that they're trying to do everything GUI, but when time
comes to add another user, its real useful :) (command-line useradd is
tedious)
Tho In my case, to use the newest things, I need alot of updates, and
to date I've used somewhere around five updates, and eight reinstalls
(StarOffice5.0 glibc2 (libc6) installation kept deleting libraries and even
renamed the dyn. loader, killing the RH partition. One tip for those going
in that direction, get the 2.0.7 rpm from RHupdate site)
And after about... two weeks, my Linux system is _finally_ stable! (I
turned gray in the process, I think. :)
So for those looking to the direction of Linux, anything but RedHat 5.0
will do. (Debian sounds nice to me. Hey, I can't whine, I got RH5 for
free!)

not much really. I haven't been working on PEU at all lately. Version
.10 has some bugs that cause it to sigsegv on linux and ux-hp. Unreleased
version .11, being written mostly from scratch, avoids the problems in
previous versions (casting pointers as ints & vice versa), and is faster
too. I've been working on setting up a linux machine to develop and
test it further... so far I've got RedHat 5.2 squeezed onto a 200M hd and
its not usable yet. If I can get gcc running, I'll try to get a bugfixed
version ,10 binary distributable to those of you who are interested.
Version .11 is not very far along and has no sequence support, no
function/procedure calls, few built-in functions. I'm also planning on
using storing sequences of integers 0..255 as plain bytes, so text
sequences will save space and require little or no conversion before
getting passed to c functions. I'm also trying to make the parser do
heavy optimization of code, such as evaluating constant expressions at
translation-time and performing dead code removal.
I've also been kicking around an idea for a Euphoria compiler, which might
use NASM (also runs on linux!) as the underlying assembler. MASM or TASM
could also be an option, both of which can also be used for win32
compilation.
Keep bugging me and maybe I'll get something done...

SuSE 5.2 (1) -- only drawback!! Not 5.3!!
Debian 2.0.2 (3)
Sunsite archives (3)
All this for $15.95 (incl. shipping and handling)! After much research,
I think I'll like Debian the most, but SuSE gets many good comments

I tried RedHat and Slackware. I like Slackware best, it has
been running for about 4 months without a crash (even with me
writing buggy programs!)
Slackware was easy to get running and connected to the
internet with Netscape.
I miss Euphoria, although the Linux
CD's include C, C++, Pascal, Cobol, Perl, Python, and a bunch
of other compilers. No basic, thank goodness.;)

Try these places, they all have good deals like this. Mind you, they sell the
$30+ official packages, the cheap deals are just the distributions and some
other stuff, no books or manuals. They will allow you to get a linux box going
if you're poor like me <G>.

I personally have Slackware, not running now, I belive for a single station
configuration it'll do the work... client/server configurations may be more
convinient with pay-supported distirbutions like RedHat or OpenLinux.

is there a way to just click on a a *.exu file and have it associated
with exu so that it will automaticly run? or is there a Linux equivlant
to a *.bat file?
BTW I'm only 3 days new with Euphoria and I'm already doing things that
would take me a week to do in BASIC. And even then only if I was
programming in DOS or M$ Windoze. I can't beleive the power of Euphoria
compared to BASIC. Awsome!

Yes. The very FIRST line of your Euphoria prog must be:
#!./euphoria/bin/exu
and permissions should be set to read/write/execute. (Right click to
set Properties, then Permissions - the program's icon will change
to reflect it's new status as an executable file)
You can then type the name of the file at a prompt, or click on the
icon, and it'll run. You don't really need .bat files for just running
programs, since it's so easy to make the Euphoria source itself
executable. You might want to use one if you chain several different
programs together.

BASH is the usual "command.com" for Linux, execept that BASH is more of a
full-fledged "interpreter" of its own. There are probably a half-dozen other
"shells" available for those who prefer different syntax: the original Bourne
shell (sh), csh, tcsh, zsh which are "C shells", ksh and pdks, the "Korn
shells", and rc, a c-like shell. With some care, you can write fairly complex
programs with any one of these. Some or all steps in such a shell script
might entail calling Euphoria programs (or C programs or other shell
scripts....)
