So I've taken your advice and moved everything to win2008R2 instance. I'm running the program with the interpreter to make sure everything runs before compiling. However now I've run into another problem. I'm using the words.e library (poke2,peek2 etc..) provided by Bernie Ryan/Rolf Schroeder. Unfortunatly this library produces a machine exception and crashes. It seems that the assembler code used is not compatible. Since I don't know assembler I cannot fix it. Perhaps if Bernie or Rolf are still following this forum they could weigh in on what changes would be needed to make words.e compatible.
As a side note. Since poke2 and peek2 are now part of 4.x does anyone know if 4.x will have same issue with those functions on win2008R2?
I think it's strange that people are still using such ancient versions of Euphoria. I supposed if something works, there's no reason to change it. But still, I am really surprised that people are still using 3.x. Do you know how much better 4.x is? It's not perfect. It still has alot of flaws, but I don't think people realize how incredible the new standard library is, plus the new syntax features. I understand that it takes extra work to stay updated. I usually use a version of euphoria that is 6 months to a year behind because I'm more focused on developing my programs than beta-testing the latest versions. But, if you haven't tried upgrading your programs to 4.x, you probably don't know what you are missing out on! Seriously, if you haven't tried 4.x, it's worth your time. I struggled through it, gradually converting my code over to the new way of doing things, but after I started to get used to it, I was amazed at how much better it was. Even today, I am finding features I didn't know it had. If more people would get involved, Euphoria could improve even more!
