1. Re: A "best of" software and what is Euphoria used for"???
I like the idea of making somewhere a plce where all the
"urgent things" are linked and not mixed up with "special-stuff".
1. Maybe a Link to the actual Win32Lib
to the actual IDE from Judith
(to the newest Py-Version 
not to forget the PRINT-Rountine from ... (whichone was the best ?)
and a link to the best Editor
plus a Link to a "Installation-System" that makes the necessary
registry-things to enable EUPHORIA-Programms to be double-clicked.
and whatelse is missing ?
that all together on a page (Just the "Links").
2. Projects ...
What is Euphoria used for ? What would you say if someone asking you "why do
you use E... and not XYZ for this project ?". I thought about this and below
is my answer.
A) Euphoria has few variable-types and some built in constructions that
enable to develop programm's in a very short time.
How often did I wonder that the Euphoria-Programm was running "at the first
time".
In most other "languages" you compile, start and "Error" and remove the
error ... compile again.
B) Euphoria & WinLib ".EXE"-Files do not need any "Setup" and
Installation-Process. Its just one ".EXE"-File.
You can "Bind" the program and then you can even use it for a "CD-Menu" or
"Disk-Menu" (these programms are small they fit on a floppy-disk !)
Thats "user-friendly". Here is the program, start it, use it, delete it ...
(no installation/no uninstallation / no left ".DLL"-Files ...)
C) Euphoria-Programms are short and small. I think I get 7 of them on a
simple Floppy-Disk. You can put them in the Internet for Download ! Try that
with a Visual-Basic or VC-Program with "Setup-Routines" etc.. My typical
Euphoria ".EXE" has 170 kb.
D) It's easy to learn. Once you have understood "how to convert from
sequences to strings" there are not so many secrets behind it. Especially
much LESS then as example in C++.
So what would you use this Language for ?
I use Euphoria for small and quick sollutions.
As we all have heared 75% of all Software-Projects are overtime !
With Euphoria I am always undertime !
In this case I wanted to use the list to share my experiences with
EUPHORIA and to formulate things in "clear words".
I think all of us, using Euphoria now these things, but its sometimes
difficult to say "WHY WE USE Euphoria" for that particular project.
I tried to formulate it to help you all in discussions about it.

Greettings to all listmembers and thanks for their support.
