It still needs testing on other unix-like platforms...
Like FreeBSD? I'll get a repo set up on mine tonight and get Euphoria downloaded. I'll need help with what to type to test. Maybe you could throw together a simple batch/script for me. 
Yes, exactly. I think the other platforms are OSX and OpenSolaris. I'm not sure which others have been ported (Jeremy's been doing a lot of that work). Basically, here's what you should do (assuming that you built the binaries in the default, build subdir off of the source dirstart from there):
$ mkdir news $ cd news $ ../euc -makefile-full -debug -lib ../eu.a ../../../demo/news
This will also create news.mak, which you'll need to edit. The reason for this is that euphoria.h has changed, and you'll need to make sure that the local version is used. So change the -I flag in the compiler flags section of the makefile to point to the version from the repository. It should be something like: /home/euphoric/task_svn/ or wherever you've checked out the svn repository. Then:
$ make -f news.mak or possibly: $ gmake -f news.mak ...because it's probably outputting a GNU makefile, not a BSD makefile
...and you should be able to test it.
