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... --Quark

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 Cole

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. -- "Any programming problem can be solved by adding a level of indirection." --anonymous "Any performance problem can be solved by removing a level of indirection." --M.

No way do I think that's a good idea. I keep \Euphoria\Include as clean as possible. -- "Any programming problem can be solved by adding a level of indirection." --anonymous "Any performance problem can be solved by removing a level of indirection." --M.

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 certainly don't. They're all in c:\eu_includes, and I just have to install the new Euphoria each time. No biggie.

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.
