1. Pulling the plug on Gnuphoria
Pete's Peuphoria is *very* cool - especially with the new Allegro stuff.
It's so cool, in fact, that it's pointless for me to continue working on
Gnuphoria.

Gee. I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing.
After all, if Euphoria catches on in the Linux community,
there will be thousands of knowledgeable programmers to
make it work on that platform. Dave's time might be better
spent writing Euphoria DOS or Win software - which no one
seems to do better.

David,
This *really* is a sad moment. But...
Don=B4t sit down and hang your head, Tom Dooley!
I=B4m sure there are a lot of other things for you to do now, amongst the=

Our appreciation goes out to you for all the things you=B4ve done and sur=

good work!
Hurray for David!

I appreciate the nice words, but I'm *NOT* complaining - really!
Writing an interpreter is a *lot* of work and Pete has done an excellent
job of it. But it's not complete, and I hope that the rest of the
Euphoria community rallies around Peuphoria. I think that it's an
important step for Euphoria as a language.
Hurrah, Pete! It's certainly taken a load off *my* back.

Ah, but did I mention that I was planning to "help" him with his code? With
friends like me, who needs enemies?

welp... that tears it...
it'll nevah compile again...
*sigh*
"PEUphoria, we hardly knew ye..." *sniff*
on a more serious note, david:
with your newly found spare time,
and while your not helping pete with PEU,
(which btw, i think that yall shoulda
been working together in the *first place*,
no sense making *two* ports that are
incomplete when combined yall could make
an outstanding port together...)
might I request that you focus some effort on
making win32 programming like...easy?
perhaps working with all those writing wrappers
and visual interfaces and pooling all that
talent and existing code to make a really
easy WEE (windoze euphoria enviroment (tm))...
IMHO, concentrating on the work done with
visualW32 would be the best place to start.
converting it from VB, and adding the ability
to set all of a controls properties would make
it a -fine- start to visual euphoria programming,
as just setting a controls name is about all you
can do with it.
I'm not knocking it, cuz it does make the nice
outline code as it sits, and it does make it a bit
easier to lay out controls...
give it "snapping" and full rightclick control
property editing and it would become real powerfull.

tnx 4 listening, take care all--Hawke'

David, you've already been a great help so far, sharing your ideas is
what got me this far. I too am sad to see Gnuphoria get tossed to the
wind, but am also glad that you can now focus your efforts once again on
Win32Lib, Winman, etc. Thanks for your continuted support.

From some feedback I'm getting, it doesn't compile *now*. But thanks to
all you who are willing to take a chance, try comiling PEU and send an
email describing the extent of the catastrophic failure... it's getting
better. I'm suprised at how helpful the responses are.. "line XXX should
be this" "change XXXX to YYYY" "error happens in ZZZ traceback".. this
makes my job SOOO easy.
Thanks guys!

I agree; He does do EuDos/Win lotza better. All PEu now?
