This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

I am still having problems with the Eu translator and Borland.
I run through everything just as i should
C:\EUPHORIA\test>ecw test.exw
4 .c files were created.
To build your .exe file, type: emake
C:\EUPHORIA\test>emake
compiling with BORLAND
test.c:
main_.c:
init_.c:
get.c:
you can now execute: test.exe
C:\EUPHORIA\test>test.exe
at this point, the message pops up about having a free translator, then
disappears.
after that, i am left with nothing! Why?

What if you run your program with the interpreter: exw test
Does the window disappear?
I don't know what your test.exw program is,
but I suspect it's very simple and you need to add:
if getc(0) then
end if
at the end of your program to stop the window from
disappearing, as normally happens when a Windows
program terminates. (There's also a way to convert
exw.exe or your test.exe into a console-mode program,
so the window won't disappear - search for
Jeremy Collake in the Archives.)

3. Re: still having translator problems
i tried getting the window to pause. that doesnt work. i made a program with
win32lib and nothing happened!
even this simple program, when compiled, does not work:
-- begin code
include win32lib.ew
constant main = create( Window, "Test", 0, .25, .25, .5, .5, 0 )
WinMain( main, Normal )
-- end code
nothing, nothing at all! just a DOS box with the translator message!

It works for me on XP, with either the PD or Complete Translator.
With the PD, a black console window comes up with
"eliminate this message and delay",
but then the "Test" window also comes up after a
few seconds of delay. I have Win32Lib version .57.11 in
my EUINC variable.
Make sure you use:
ecw -bor yourfile.exw
to translate to Borland C,
otherwise it might try to translate for Watcom C.
Also, check the task bar at the bottom, in case the
"Test" window is just not immediately visible.
Also check that you have the 2.3 official release
installed for both the interpreter and the translator for Borland.
Type:
exw
ecw
and note the version numbers.
