I think, too, that the European Common Market countries have also established (or have asked MicroSoft to allow to have established) a subset of the Windows API as an International Standard, so that if a developer writes strictly to this standard, it will be easily portable and maintainable, or something like that. I doubt that this is exactly in MicroSoft's corporate interest. But, with a little forethought, perhaps a Euphoria for Windows can be implemented which is readily convertible to other operating environments.
