1. win32.e
In Euphoria 2.0 beta's %EUDIR%\doc\library.doc "win32.e" is mentioned many
times, yet there is no %EUDIR%\include\win32.e ???

Thanks for reporting this. It should say "dll.e", not "win32.e".
(and %EUDIR% is the value of your EUDIR environment variable.)
Regarding DeleteFile() etc. I haven't found any
free WIN32 API references on the Internet. There's a site
in Europe that someone reported that has a WIN16 reference.
You might have to buy a book, or find someone who has the
large win32.hlp file that comes with some C/C++ compilers
for WIN32. Maybe sometime later I or somebody else will make
a .e file with a bunch of those file functions in it, callable from
Euphoria.
Thanks,

Andy Kurnia wondered about executing functions from Win32.
The file you want is WIN32.HLP. You can check:
http://www.delphiexchange.com/files/document.html
http://www.axi.net/dex/files/document.html
Some of the functions that you want are part of the API. All of them can =
be called through interrupts; here are some examples. They are not meant =
to be a complete listing.
Any volunteers to put these into a library?
--------------------------
The DeleteFile function=20
Deletes an existing file.=20
--------------------------
BOOL DeleteFile(
LPCTSTR lpFileName // address of name of file to delete =20
);=09
--------------------------
The CopyFile function=20
Copies an existing file to a new file.=20
--------------------------
BOOL CopyFile(
LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName, // address of name of an existing
file=20
LPCTSTR lpNewFileName, // address of filename to copy to=20
BOOL bFailIfExists // flag for operation if file exists=20
);=09
--------------------------
The MoveFile function=20
Renames an existing file or a directory=20
(including all its children).=20
--------------------------
BOOL MoveFile(
LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName, // address of name of the existing file
=
=20
LPCTSTR lpNewFileName // address of new name for the file=20
);=09

win32.hlp is at:
it's 7,777k ziped and almost 11 meg unziped.
At first I thought it might be a delphi oriented
reference whi the same name, but that dosn't apear
to be the case though I haven't had a good chance
to look at it thouroghly.

It's the right one. It's the place where many of us got it.

Rob, why not have win32.hlp (zipped) downloadable from
http://members.aol.com/FilesEu ? Or at least, put a link to it... (also
mention it in the .DOCs).
Does someone in this list have a very well file compressor (that beats
"pkzip -ex" of PKZIP 2.04g)? If so, I'd like to know the size of win32.hlp
after being compressed by that algorithm
