1. Linux Alpha Release
The alpha release of Euphoria for Linux
is now available. You can get it from:
http://www.RapidEuphoria.com/v20.htm
There's a link to the release notes.
We decided to call it v2.2 alpha in anticipation
of porting the code back to DOS32+WIN32
and having a 2.2 release where all platforms are in sync.
Several cross-platform improvements have been made
while working on Linux.
In the next few months we expect to have
2.2 beta and 2.2 official releases for Linux,
followed by 2.2 beta and 2.2 official releases
for DOS32+WIN32.
All registered users of DOS32+WIN32 v2.1 will get
a free download of v2.2 for DOS32+WIN32.
There is now a Complete Edition for Linux ($25).
If you register for Linux 2.2 alpha you will get
the Linux 2.2 beta and Official releases for free.

The 2.2 release for DOS32+WIN32
will incorporate relatively minor features
and bug fixes developed for the Linux 2.2 release.
Once DOS32, WIN32 and Linux are in sync,
we will move on to more major features.

Hello
Are there going to be any changes to the way DLL's are handled? I'm still
trying to figure out why the OpenGL wrapper simply will not work.
Thanks

No changes to the handling of .DLLs are planned.
There's a new routine for Linux called define_c_var()
that gives you the address of a C variable. We'll
try to implement this on WIN32 as well, although
there isn't as much need for it there.
If you can demonstrate a bug in the current way
.DLLs are handled, we'll try to fix it.

Well the only way I can demonstrate the my problem is if you download the
OpenGL wrappers. If you are willing to take a look I've cut and paste a
previous message that I posted show you where they are at.

I really would like to get this working. So your help is very much
appreciated.

I'm having problems with this. Whenever I try to open the tar file in WinZip,
I get "error processing header after reading 0 entries". I'm having similar
success under KDE in OpenLinux... Is the server copy corrupt, or am I doing
something wrong? Has anyone else gotten this to work?

Hi:
I had to download the file two or three times before I got a copy that would
untar using tar, or KDE's ark. Strangely, KDE by itself could open and unpack
_some_ of the files/folders in the archive, but some important ones were
missing.
