1. FreeBSD - attn Rob
Rob,
Are you still considering implementing a version of
Euphoria without NCurses?
I gather from the previous postings cited below that
such a version would indeed run on many Unix clones.

Yes, I'm still interested.
I'm not sure where it fits on my priority list though.
I imagine someone with the source could hack out the
ncurses calls.
