Okay ... let me set the record a little straighter on this one.  I am planning
on writing a book on
Euphoria:  however, don't expect it to be available for quite a while.  I am
still hammering on the
new installer code, and that is the top priority at this moment (other than
those useless things
like working and getting money, and other meaningless endeavors).  It is
basically an
outcropping of my "Encyclopaedia Euphoria" project, which met with so-so
enthusiasm.

Besides, I can't really write a lot on it until Euphoria 2.3 -- at least the
alpha -- is out and I have
base documentation for namespaces and other added features.  And, since I'll be
trying to
provide the very documentation spoken of, there will be a lot of research to do
with the respective
library authors.  As in, "If I code in click_ruby_slippers() three times in a
row, will my program
end up in Kansas?"
