1. Euphoria & Rebol? also .exe file?
Hello,
Has anyone here had experience of both Euphoria and Rebol?
I have written some programs in a Dos Forth, and I want to find a
Windows programming language which is as close to Forth's simplicity
as possible. With either Euphoria or Rebol, can you write Windows
programs simply, and can you call other programs easily?
Also, in Euphoria --- can you make an executable file for export, or
must the Euphoria interpreter be also resident?
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Robert

Hi Robert,
I have no experience with Rebol.
Here is a link to the Euphoria Referance manual online
section regarding methods of distributing Euphoria
programs:

Short answer - in order to distribute a standalone
executable you will need to at least pay for the
complete edition of Euphoria or buy the translator.
Hope this helps,
Ken Rhodes

I don't know about rebol,but as far as making windows programs,
I have been using a G.U.I library created by David Cuny(a euphoria
programmer) which kind of simulates windows.The interface looks just like
windows and behaves like windows.If I were to compare the simplicity,I would
definately say it was simple to program windows
in euphoria using this library.Much simpler then,say,programming
windows with visual c++.The library gives you quick control over
the graphical elements and is almost constantly being updated by
other users. Very simple,yet powerful,I havent found the same
power/simplicity ratio anywhere.
