1. When updating Euphoria
Hi,
I have delayed posting this out of some embarrassment. The many times I have
installed new versions of Eu, I have dragged many different folders from the
old to the new version folders. Finally the corroded nickel dropped and I
took the time to move all this stuff, including win32 includes folder and a
folder where I keep all non-official includes, to one single folder. I
changed the EUINC system variable to reflect this. Now let the new Eu
versions come as fast as they like -- I just drag that one folder to nestle
among the new version folders.
Probably most everyone else has figured this out a long time ago, but in case
someone may benefit from my experience, I hereby admit it took me a while...

Hello Quake,
The way I do it,
1.)Change the old euphoria folder (with include files) to Fuphoria.
2.)Install the new Euphoria.
3.)Copy new Euphoria folder into the fuphoria folder. When asked "a copy of this
file already exits" overwrite, ignore or cancel? Select overwrite all.
You should now have fuphoria with include folder with all the new updates and
the any new files you added since your first installation.
4.)Rename the fuphoria folder back to Euphoria.

Don,
Sounds good, except don't you mean "copy the *contents* of the new Euphoria
folder...", rather than "Copy new Euphoria folder into the fuphoria folder."?
If you *drag* copy new Euphoria folder into Fuphoria folder, you get a folder
of new Euphoria *inside* Fuphoria, so EUINC won't find the *new* includes, etc,
after last rename of Fuphoria back to Euphoria, right?

Here's what I do:
I make a copy of my current Euphoria folder and call it something like
Euphoria2.5 or whatever.
Then I do the install. The installer backs up your existing folder into a
subdirectory called "backup" and then overwrites the older Euphoria files. All of
your other Euphoria subdirectories remain intact. You may have to adjust your
environment variables, but maybe not.

Just making sure I understand correctly: are people saying that they save all
their include files (ie their personal ones; those contributed by others; and
those with [for example] IDE, Win32Lib, Diamond etc) in the same folder as
the official Eu includes - ie all in ..\EUPHORIA\INCLUDE?
That's a good thing to do?

Not me... No way do I think that's a good idea. I keep \Euphoria\Include as
clean as possible.

No not all. Just some select files. Such as myself I use STRLIST.E and FONT.E a
lot so i just put them in with my standard includes.
I'm not advocating dumping the EU folder where I keep Win32Lib,WinClass etc..

I certainly don't. They're all in c:\eu_includes, and I just have to install
the new Euphoria each time. No biggie.
9. Re: When updating Euphoria
It's easy enough to just install the new version strait over the top of the old
version. The euphoria installer will create a backup of your old euphoria package
in case you want to keep it, or roll back the install.
