It's a real credit to you that you have developed and supported a language such as Euphoria over such a period of time. Well done. Regards, Ray Smith http://rays-web.com

I agree. I myself, after hand editing a 100,000 word dictionary, beginning in 1992, with classes, descendants and predecessors, grammar, semantic info, for machine use, am calling it quits. It's been translated (not well) into 24 languages, occupying nearly 2 gigs. There are dailey news archives going back 2 years, averaging 250 articles per day, for examples of language use, a bit over 2 gigs. There's 5 years of irc logs in assorted channels. There is a hand munged database of assorted datum, about 3 gigabytes of it. But unlike Euphoria, i'm alone. And i can't make use of it on the internet without the reverse proxy. Next reboot, i'm pulling those harddrives and putting them on the shelf. It's clear anything i do is not worth any one else's time. Kat

Testing of the proxy tripped the wire. I think it was not closing because of warnings or maybe some other error *shrug* As you(jbrown) pointed out, I was told that it was not wanted anymore. Surely you can't count that as the project being stalled. I don't recall when I was told that, but it must have been at least 2 months ago. Probably longer than that. Now once again kat is saying it is not wanted/needed anymore (she said she is leaving (the computer world??)). I didn't work on the proxy too much because when I had linux, it was just too slow to work with (133Mhz puter with 96MB RAM). It ran ok, but not with the GUI. I just can't opperate without a GUI. Now I have a computer that can handle it just fine. I have installed Mandrake 8.1 and am working on getting the GUI to work. I beleive I need to upgrade xfree because thats what I had to do to get it working before. My linux skills.. well, lets not call them skills. I am a newbie to linux. I would like to work a little more with linux though. I still need to figure out how to get my modem to work in linux. its a winmodem :/ With the proxy thing, I don't know whats going on. J Brown made it originally, and I fixed some bugs that was keeping it from working and I added some stuff to it. It isn't(well, wasn't) very easy to work on because after every change I had to upload it to the server to test it(24K modem). It was working when I left it though. As I recall, we couldn't get it working for kat becuase we needed access to her account which she was willing to give us except for one problem, she forgot the password. I guess she did come up with the password, but as I recall, that was after tripwire was set off and we were unable to get access to the server. I had it taking a request and then making a request on a web server running on my computer (passing the arguments it received on to my server along with the person's IP address and browser). I even showed it to jbrown(i think) and kat and probably some others. Which at the time was how I beleived she wanted it to work. BTW, jbrown!! Where are you!! I finally am back online and now you are gone from the chat room Regards, Robert Szalay
