1. Euphoria or C ?
Hi Euphorians,
I'm facing a dilemma....
I'm going to start a quite big project about an emulator of a proprietary
operating system ( a GSM telephone exchange ). Obviously this should not be
complete in each part, but must provide :
1) The same interface (text-based) as the real switch
2) The same database structure
3) The same printouts for the commands and eventually
4) an extended command language
This emulator I want to use in PC environment (DO$ or Window$).
Can you give me an opinion on which language to use for it ?
I'm tempted to use Euphoria, but I think also about C...
Many TIA,
Maurizio

Heh, that _does_ sound big, but not one programming language will do it.
C is a good one, but Euphoria, Pascal, ASM, stuff like that are good to
work in too. (Windows is C, C++, and COBOL, right?) I'd reccommend using
both, as a project of this size would recquire a bit more. :)

For a text-based program, Euphoria should work fine, and be less
effort than in C. It sounds as if the database is a proprietary
format. If so, you will have to write code to support it no matter
what language you choose. I vote for Euphoria.
Question: does this OS use a terminal with special keys or escape
commands
not available on a PC keyboard? That could be a problem.
