EuWinGui won't work with 4.++ I have emailed Andrea Cini a awhile ago, and while he is interested in porting it, I don't think its a very high priority for him at the moment.
It can't be all that difficult to convert. Win32Lib was a breeze and probably has more lines of code. Come on!
I was just taking a look at it. It uses a dll, which appears to accept and return native euphoria objects. The formats for atoms and sequences have changed, which is what appear to be causing machine crashes. The only solution I could see would be to write a shim dll that would convert between the two. I suspect this is a dll built by translating euphoria code (though it could be something else that uses the old euphoria object ABI). Either way...Ugh.
Such is the peril of unsupported proprietary code.
