Hello. I don't think the code you see written in Euphoria is going to keep that way. It is inevitable that by 2000 (or later) Euphoria shall have: - C like syntax (totally avoidable, but makes Euphoria EXEs bulky with "binding") - More sturdy and structured variable usage and declaration But, what I'd like to see (NOT the C code is: - High or True Colour support built in - A 3D graphics library to simplify 3D projects - Et cetera - Nate P.S. Here are some quotes some of my friends made: "To live in and praise the United States of America, is a crime against world peace. Their English is called American. More people speak the proper (UK) dialect of English than American." - Scott Maxted "Don't stand to the Star Spangled Banner, for it is evil and is for gun-happy people" - Kyle Labelle "Fuck you America. I'll burn your fucking flag until you guys cede yourselves to Britain." - Andy Brainard "America will pay the concequences for being naive and bigheaded" - Dieter Hemmlen

Nate, I myself have spoken negatively about America, however, as was pointed out then, I better foccus on the bad points of Holland, the country I do have some responsibility about, then the states. Same goes for you, why dont you concentrate on the bad points of Canada or on the bad points of nationalism in general. Ralf >P.S.

Period. We've had the tagline discussion before, whereby some were offended by anothers' tagline statements/sentiments, and my understanding of that issue was taglines are considered a part of the person. To wit:a sig or tagline that was congruent and contiguous, repeatedly amended to one's post, was a form of expressive freedom, provided they are kept short, and didn't verbally abuse. This is different. You aren't pledging or proffering these quotes as a tidy attachment to your persona. It isn't short, and by the laws in my country (as well as most of the countries that are represented in this forum) your post is a de facto case of verbal abuse. Your parents are your legal guardians, and as such, they are responsible for your actions. If anyone was to bring charges against you for this verbal abuse (the f' word) they would be the ones arrested, charged and made to stand trial. Do you want that? In short:I don't give a flying rip how old you are. You are either mature or you aren't. The sincerity of an apology, and the actions after that apology are (part of) what dictate a person's maturity level. Repeating the same behavior after an apology renders the apology null, as if it never happened. It's akin to praying to (whatever entity) for forgiveness for murder and turning around and killing the boy scout that is helping the old lady across the street. Asking someone to forgive you for wrongdoing carries the responsibility of not repeating the wrongdoing. Once or twice or thrice... maybe, we are all human. But nevermore. Let your political statements be posted to a political forum. Let your programming statements be posted to a programming forum. No, I will not accept any more excuses from you, nor apologies; not until I see that your maturity level has risen to a point that I feel you can carry the responsibility of that apology. BTW:you may wish to reconsider whom you call friends, as they seem rather myopic to me. I'm truly sorry for having to post this on this forum, but I didn't feel I had a choice, and I felt that it was indeed the right thing to do. take care all, and care of all as well--Hawke'

Listen, free speech is what I'm excersising. I don't by any means obey American law. Your laws are foolish. - Nate ---------- > From: Hawke <mdeland at NWINFO.NET> > To: EUPHORIA at LISTSERV.MUOHIO.EDU > Subject: Re: Is Euphoria In It's Final Form? > Date: September 10, 1998 8:14 PM > > Nate Brooman wrote: > > P.S.
