First, I would like to emphasize that if you have used C_INT, C_LONG (or their unsigned counterparts) for a pointer, you're doing it wrong, as these are not portable. Euphoria 4.1 will also run on 64-bit operating systems, so this is important.
Just checking: C_PTR is fine on 64-bit? And 64-bit is what you meant by "portable"?
Yes. C_POINTER and C_LONG change size depending on the architecture and operating system. In general, if you're wrapping some C/C++, try to use exactly what the documentation says it wants. Of course, this is difficult with Microsoft stuff, since they have their own ecosystem of typedefs.
Previous versions of wxEuphoria required that the manipulation of pointers, peeking and poking be done on the euphoria side.
Hmm. Maybe I should start with an old version then. Is there one still available?
There doesn't appear to be a download available any more for any versions previous to the current wrapping method. It's all there in the source control history, though.
I'm not really against this or anything, but personally I have no motivation to do anything Phix related.
Quite right. Phix is asm-based and you're a C++-head so I wouldn't want your help anyway 
Thanks for letting me off the hook.
