I'm not suprized.

Some Pocket PC's dont have the x86 architecture. The C back-end contains some
traces of x86 assembly code, so that immediately presents a problem when porting
to different architectures. It can be done, but the ASM would have to be
completely re-coded. You would have to build a custom MAKE file also, since the
source only comes with ones for Watcom, Borland, LCC, and GCC compilers on DOS,
Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD.

Perhaps instead you could add thread-safety and sport a 64 bit editon of the
Euphoria interpreter? For that, I'd vote handsomely in Micro-Economy money!

I would do it myself, since I have the C source, but I don't know enough about C
programming. Euphoria and it's standard library might become thread safe many
years in the future, but to be honest, I really dont want to wait that long; I
want to have it soon. Pleeeeeaaaasee!?!?! LOL.
