Yeah, and he's the only one left using it (he he).

All kidding aside, i like some things about C++ and other things i 
kinda dont like, so i try to include the things i like in my WinClass
library and leave the crummy stuff out.  If i even go to a compiler
perhaps i'll be able to include more stuff.  I could use operator
overloading for my Sci Calculator and other math stuff that needs to
work with data types other than atom, seq, etc.  Without it you always
end up doing  "c=Add(a,b)" instead of just c=a+b when you work with
data types that can be added but are not simply sequences or atoms.
Yeah they end up being stored in sequences, but they cant be added using
Eu's sequence addition s=s1+s2.  For example addition and subtraction for
complex numbers can be done with Eu's sequence addition C=A+B but not
multiplication or division: C!=A*B and C!=A/B.



Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
