re: what's Euphoria what's an EDI? Do you mean IDE (Integrated Development Environment)? I think of Euphoria as a cross between BASIC and C, with LISP-like data structures (only better, 'cause you can access them like arrays). It's interpreted, but faster than you think. re: What's the purpose? Hmmm. It's currently a DOS language, although Win32 calls will be added in the future. Cool features: - Public-domain version is FREE! - Fast - Easy to learn - Structured language - Lists as data structures - Great debugger - Accesses *all* your computer memory - Can be bound into executable A lot of people are using it to develop video games. What do I use it for? Mainly, stuff I would have coded in QBASIC. Only I don't have to worry about running into the 64K memory wall. Very nice. -- David Cuny
