That's http://www.harborside.com/~xseal/euphoria/

Neil doesn't have a asm polygonfill... yet.  Jeff and I have been in
contact, and I think I'm going to wait and see what algorithm he comes up
with, and then possibly recode it in asm and so it works on Neil2 virtual
screens..

Neil2 is totally platform-independent (as long as I test the code on each
platform before I post it  ... just the other day I coded the keyboard
and mouse input routines to be completely identical regardless of
platform... get_key(), get_mouse() and Michael Bolin's get_keys() return the
same values on Linux X windows, DOS and Win32.  Mike Hurley is helping with
the mouse cursor routines, which should be useful in DOS and Linux Svgalib
versions.

Dude! - thanks for the compliment, Bernie.
