1. DOS32 VS WIN32
lately i have been tinkering with dos32lib.e and i have come to like
the look of this mock operating system. i would like to use it for my
next project, but that next project requires dll calls, which DOS32
does not support. i tried running a dos32lib program with exw but exw
does not support pallete() and other DOS32 routines. is there a happy
medium here? can i run dos32lib or the like on the win32 platform?

What kind of dll calls? Win API calls, or some functions that you wrote
yourself? Because i've written a library that lets you use dll:s in
DOS/Linux (search for "dll" in the recent user contributions). For DOS i've
"emulated" a tiny subset of the Win API (like CreateFile, CloseHandle,
WriteConsole, LocalAlloc etc), so calling those works.

Maybe somebody could write Win32 code that emulates the DOS-Only Euphoria
routines. I leave this as
an exercise for the reader

Ah, so i'm guessing euLibnet.dll contains calls to lots of network
functions. I don't emulate any of those and i'm 99.9% sure i never will.. :)
Looks like you're "stuck" with windows.

Damn.

The only thing I'm looking for from dos32lib is the look, a kind of
Mac/Linux mixer. I think I'm going to move my project to ExoticaX using
GuiX and make my own skins...

Well can you an old version of win32lib?
If not, can you hack up pallete() and other routines via
dll calls to win32?
Basicly those are your 2 options. (It IS possible for a DOS program to
make
Windows DLL calls under certain versions of Windows, but if you knew how
to
do that you wouldnt have asked the mailing list this question ...)
