So they are. Isn't that just another thing that detracts from Euphoria's popularity?

Not that Eu should support *any* kind of images, that's not my point. Anyone interested in working with images is very unlikely to be doing so in a text mode, I suspect.

Therefore, since the Eu user will probably be using either wxWindows, EuGTK, or something similar, those libraries already have a lot of support for images built in. Euphoria itself needs none at all.

This is true. I'm pretty sure these bitmap routines are a holdout from the days of DOS graphics mode support. They're still hanging around because they were still "cross-platform" without DOS graphics.
