To all , There's been mention made of a Dos32Lib.e or DosLib32.e and Win32Lib.e or WinLib32.e . If these type of files exist , what do they do and at what site address[es] can they be found ? Are these part of the standard include files that come with a particular version of Euphoria ? To D.Cuny , After installing , as TSR software , a more recent version of the vesa standard ; v1.2 , I found that your mwin.e file was compatible with the higher resolutions . I now can use 1024x768 , 256 colour selection when the use_vesa(1) option is invoked , the mouse ; using mighty.e works reasonably well at this setting also. However , there's a bit of disk activity , for some undetermined reason, when in the highest setting and running DEMO1.ex , with the menu restored to full screen. This might result from my system configuration , or the type of vesa driver I'm using ; which probably is a bit dated by now. I'm also able to run a 256 colour CAD package now , that was previously having the same problems with the mouse as your software. Does anyone know a web [ftp] site where I might find more recent versions, preferably as freeware. To Pete Eblein , Awhile ago I managed to visit your site , where I found some rendered and shaded images of a spiral. What file have you put the software for this in , I may have this already on a floppy disk , after an earlier ; visit I made from a cybercafe. I'm also wondering how generally applicable this is to 3d images as the spirals are all lying in a plane. How useful might this be for constructing a shaded graph , might the painters algorithm work better in that instance ? There's a possibility now , with the different vesa version that I'm using , of using more than 256 colours ; in a moderate resolution . Do you have any experience with this , neil.e might allow one to investigate this . I'm becoming more familiar with the use of asm.e , after writing some software around this I can now use ed.ex , in split screen mode , to write assembly code straight to one window , go to the other and ; test the code. Then edit/run again , if necessary ; without ever leaving ed.* . What piece of hardware are the mmx instructions intended for , are these further instructions for the x87 , FPU ? As for mixed.e , this is between euphoria, c [standard/32] , asm32 . If you were to have C++ [32-bit] routines in mixed.e , what might these be ; I'm still revising C [ 16-bit , ansii ]. Might these include unlimited precision in math calculations, most of the accumulator instructions extended to arbitrarily long strings of any type ? P.S. Hope I spelt your surname correctly. To the author of Matheval , You may of encountered a file I posted somewhile ago called parr1.txt, detailing one approach to constructing a parser. This has a fair few advantages over other ways of evaluating equations or expressions. One of the disadvantages is the necessity of making at least two disk accesses , the parser of d.cuny circumvents this ; however as you discovered in one implementation of eval.e ; there were difficulties. Are you looking towards an alternative or merging of these two approaches , this is something I was considering for awhile and mentioned to d.cuny. He was reticent about that approach. This doesn't mean that there's no other way of constructing a workable parser with at least some of the attributes desired , i.e minimal use of the disk, ease of configuration ; rapidity of evaluation.
