1. Linux/Wine - Euphoria install
This may be of interest: Recently, since Robert distributed all the
platform files together for eu3.0_tasking, I've enjoyed checking
out some recent Euphoria "Dark Side" postings using Wine.
I copied exw.exe to /home/ken/bin/.
Next I created a shell/bat file named "exw",
which contains this line:
wine /home/ken/bin/exw.exe
Then, I made it executable: chmod +x exw
Now, I can run, for example, exw Units.exw
Works like a charm.
I'd love to see wxEuphoria version of most Windows programs,
but Wine suffices in most instances.
I think that the Euphoria DOS/Windows files, well, at least
the interpreter, should be included in the
Linux distribution or made optionally available - somehow,
I've got the notion that the RDS's ritzy DOS/Windows installer
is not Linux friendly.
Has anyone tried Gentoo Linux and Euphoria?

I tried wine and it almost runs Age of Empires, but it loses the fonts. Then I
must reboot to get back the fonts.
Then I sortuv gave up on wine. It seemed easier to run Windows programs on
Windows instead of on Linux.
But if I could get wine happening, it might be an easier way to test programs
written with wxEuphoria on both Windows and Linux than switching between
operating systems.

For a while I was using Win32Lib on Wine with no apparent issues. I
love Wine. Does that make me a Wine-o? :P

I've had some success running EXW and Win32Lib apps using Wine on FreeBSD.
However it seems wine doesn't handle DOS paths well on *nix. For example I always
have to move the Win32Lib include files, STD Lib include files, and standard
include files into the same directory as the program I try to run.
