If you are addressing this to "Kat", you will probably get a replay from him.
Yes, I think I just got the reply, above.
if you were addressing it to me, I would appreciate it if you do not call me Kat.
Well, we can't always get what we want.
I am replying to this statement, because I found absolutely no difficulty in compiling version 4.0.5
A non sequitur if I've ever heard one.
I will try and compile version 4.1 the same way (WATCOM)
Bad idea.
I use Euphoria, simply because I can get fairly cheap programmers who were trained in Cplus plus and BASIC/Visual Basic and do not mind learning Euphoria, and are comfortable with the older style of compiling an exe file.
All they want is basically a Windows exe file that will work on Windows 7 and 10, 32 and 64 bits, and clickable from their desktops.
Sounds reasonable.
You might not be aware that Microsoft had a free software upgrade from Win 7 to Win 10 that just recently finished, but many have not yet shifted to Win 10.
I was aware, in fact.
The real world of business is far removed from Linux,
This is just plain false.
some would insist on paying for the more expensive Microsoft servers.
Agreed. I have seen this. Usually some enterprise app that ONLY runs on Windoze - so there's no choice.
One must not forget that the programming world is based today on 4 operating systems, viz.
Windows, Linux, Mac and Android, and if any programming language drops any of these platforms, it is committing a suicide.
Agreed in full.
