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. A moment of silence... "Gnuphoria, we hardly knew ye..." *sniff* -- David Cuny

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. (no offense to anyone who thinks _they_ are better) Irv

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. -- David Cuny

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. </$0.02 rolls around the bottom of the bucket> tnx 4 listening, take care all--Hawke'

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. > welp... that tears it... > it'll nevah compile again... > *sigh* > > "PEUphoria, we hardly knew ye..." *sniff* 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.
