1. Modem sharing
Has anybody impartially benchmarked 2.0 against 1.5a ? (I'm obviously talking
DOS here)
Rob :
time now for {foo,bar}=get_coords()
and {{2,1},{3,6},{8,-1}} * {1,0}
also, I would like to see the possibility of some stricter structure
(flexibility is wonderful, but sometimes you NEED an array)
I suggest :
------------start
type coord(sequence c)
return length(c)=2 and atom(c[1]) and atom(c[2]) --coordinate data type
end type
sequence of coord foo --foo is a sequence of coordinates
-------------------------- end
this prevents me doing type checking of the form
for a=1 to length(foo) do
temp=coord(foo[a])
end for
now type checks need only be done on individual coordinates in a sequence when
they get changed, rather than a huge overhead checking the whole lot.
Here is a project for somebody familiar with PPP or SLIP or winsock who wants
to learn Euphoria for Windows.
First, is it possible to give a web-server-style PPP/SLIP interface via a
serial port using winsock.dll ?
The idea and reason is this :
Out of the three computers I have here, only one can access the internet (I
won't bore you with the details), however with an emulated web server via the
serial port, this could be done. It would also allow somebody to share a modem
or ISDN line over a small network.
1. Can this be done ?
2. Would somebody like to do it ?

My current Euphoria project is getting winsock2.0 to work with Euphoria.
I've been working on it (on and off) for a while, but I recently broke down
and got the winsock2.0 book, so hopefully things will go faster. So far,
I've been able to create a socket (that is, I don't get an error going
through the first few function calls) but I can't get it to connect.
Windows sockets are different from my native UNIX sockets....
If anyone has gotten anything to work, I'd love to hear about it.

I coded some days ago an FTP client using wininet.dll, which provides a very
high-level interface with windows sockets. You don't actually interface with
sockets, but with services (such as FTP, HTTP and Gopher). Maybe you can
find this interesting.
Here's a link to the file:

I do not have Win95 or IE, nor do I intend to get either. (Off subject - who
wants a web browser that STILL does not support ftp uploading ? I use Netscape
2.0 and it does everything I need !)
A cool refresher from the boasts about new 500MHz Pentium Mars-Bar-Chips, I am
running a 386 with Win3.1, so I notice the slow bits of Euphoria (fewer than I
would have believed). I also use AOL, which has a slightly funny version of
Winsick, so some programmes turn out ill, like FTP ones. I also own an Apple
Newton (STILL ALIVE !) which cannot acces the 'net through AOL, so modem
sharing would be quite handy.
And Rob - don't forget the encrypted error messages !

IE3+ already supports simple ftp uploading: [f]ile- [Send file]
And advanced uploading through the Publishing wizard (availbale since
version 3 also)
I do not like big companies like MS or Netscape, but I must admit, Win95+IE4
does work after you personalize it a bit, and turn off the 'dummy' tricks.
Just to let you know... (btw.. Netscape eats lots of memory, and is pretty
slow, an HTML browser in Euphoria WOULD be a lot faster..) ... just wait for
the source...
