Incidentally, why are you using Eu 3.1.1?
Well, complexity is imposed in society in every way, also in the computing world. I'm moving to simpler solutions, that's why I revisited euphoria after some years.
Sounds good to me!
Maybe I can use it in some DOS distraction-free, fun context.
Sadly, DOS was dropped in the later versions of OE (I don't remember it 4.0 had it but 4.2 certainly does not)
However, it may still work - as I alluded to here some years ago, https://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/134244.wc one of the open DOS communities from back then thought key could keep OE alive there by using something (I think it was the HX DOS Extneder) to run the w32 version of OE on DOS.
I really miss a 64-bit modern DOS or at least some modern OS/2.
Well, vide-coded OSes are all the rage now. Might be a fun project.
There's also some revival of 3.1.1 in this site.
This seems to be an even poorer version of what Shian already had seven years ago (as I reviewed in https://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/134244.wc - his old site seems to be gone now)
On the one hand, if it's his dream to launch a website about Eu 3.1.1 then I shouldn't really get in his way. But on the other hand, calling this a revival is a bit ... strong. A blog powered by (or at least full of posts made by) Gemini AI, but no forum .. so Shian has dropped the community. And I still don't see evidence of a repo or a place to make code updates and contribute fixes or improvements.
But perhaps that is the point - rather than reviving it, Shian Lee may simply want to preserve something frozen in a moment in time. It's a nice goal, like the Geocities archival projects.
