HI Kat The last version of ver4 that supported DOS that I know was working was SVN1705 . That was the version before Jeremy decided to change names of interpreter binaries. The names were still exw.exe ex.exe at that point. Versions after the names were changed became all messed up and I couldn't build anything for DOS after that worked. Soon after that DOS was dropped.
The last eubin with DOS support was r2434 which had euid.exe and is available for a limited time from http://jeremy.cowgar.com/eubins/windows/eu40-2434.zip
At some point perhaps shortly after the name change, ShawnPringleBSC changed makefile.wat to use eui.exe to build euid.exe - this change was to allow Jeremy to build the DOS eubin on Windows 7 but broke the makefile for anyone who tried to build Euphoria on DOS alone.
I did hear back from one person who expressed, uh, enthusiasm at reviving the DOS port. I haven't heard back from this person since Sunday but maybe has only weekend availablity.
